Cross-species summary:
Also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy. A lysosomal storage disease in which there is a buildup (storage) of myelin, due to the lack of the enzyme galactosylceramidase (galactocerebrosidase), whose task is to break down myelin into its constituent molecules. Characterised by weakness progressing to paralysis.
Species-specific name:
globoid cell leukodystrophy
Molecular basis:
By cloning and sequencing a very likely comparative candidate gene (based on the homologous human disorder), Victoria et al. (1996) identified the cause of this disorder, in both West Highland White terriers and Cairn terriers, as a base substitution (A to C transversion) at position 473 of the cDNA for galactocerebriosidase (GALC), resulting in an amino acid substitution (tyrosine to serine) at position 158 in the peptide. They have developed a PCR genotyping test which is being used within both breeds, to identify carriers.
In an Irish Setter family, McGraw and Carmichael (2006) identified a 78 bp insertion in the same gene as the causative mutation.

Variants
By default, variants are sorted chronologically by year of publication, to provide a historical perspective. Readers can re-sort on any column by clicking on the column header. Click it again to sort in a descending order. To create a multiple-field sort, hold down Shift while clicking on the second, third etc relevant column headers.
WARNING! Inclusion of a variant in this table does not automatically mean that it should be used for DNA testing. Anyone contemplating the use of any of these variants for DNA testing should examine critically the relevant evidence (especially in breeds other than the breed in which the variant was first described). If it is decided to proceed, the location and orientation of the variant sequence should be checked very carefully.
