OMIA:001923-9615 : Spinal intradural arachnoid cyst in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

Categories: Nervous system phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 182990 (trait)

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Disease-related: yes

Cross-species summary: Also called 'spinal arachnoid diverticula'.  Characterized by the focal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space, causing spinal cord compression and myelopathic clinical signs. Congenital or acquired causes are suspected.

Inheritance: Rohdin et al. (2014) reported that "Seven related young pugs were diagnosed with cervical spinal intradural arachnoid cysts by magnetic resonance imaging (n=6) and myelography (n=1)" and that "Pedigree analysis suggested a genetic predisposition for spinal arachnoid cysts in this family of pugs"

Breeds: French Bulldog (Dog) (VBO_0201455), Pug (Dog) (VBO_0201089), Rottweiler (Dog) (VBO_0201143).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. (If a likely causal variant has been documented for the phene, see the variant table breeds in which the variant has been reported).
