Species-specific description: Quitt et al. (2021) "described a novel hypomyelinating leukodystrophy in 11 related German Shepherd dogs. The clinical course was nonprogressive and adult dogs walked with residual pelvic limb ataxia. Repeated conventional brain MRI was useful to characterize abnormal maturation of subcortical and cerebellar white matter. The disease is thought to be genetic in origin with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance."
Breed: German Shepherd Dog.
