====Canine Cyclic Haematopoiesis====
  −
*Also called '''Grey Collie Syndrome'''
  −
*Autosomal recessive
  −
*Insertion mutation in AP3B1 gene
  −
*Diluted grey coat colour, stunted growth, poor wound healing
  −
*Neutropenia every 2 weeks which lasts 3-4 days due to cyclic production of cells from [[Bone Marrow - Anatomy & Physiology|bone marrow]]
  −
*Animals are prone to recurrent infections, mainly from the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract
  −
**E.g. pyrexia, [[Diarrhoea|diarrhoea]], gingivitis and arthritis
  −
*Puppies can be distinguished from other litter mates by the diluted grey colouring
  −
*Affected puppies show symptoms such as fever, joint pain and eye, skin and respiratory infections from 8 weeks of age
  −
*Affected animals rarely live beyond 2-3 years with most puppies dying within a few weeks of birth
  −
 
  −
====Canine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (CLAD)====
  −
*Occurs in Irish Setters
  −
*Missence mutation of -Cys-36-Ser- in CD18 molecule
  −
**CD18 is required for [[Neutrophils|neutrophil]] migration and phagocytosis
  −
*Recurrent bacterial infection
  −
*Neutrophilia ([[Neutrophils|neutrophils]] remain in the blood and are unable to fight infection in the tissue)
  −
 
  −
====Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD)====
  −
*Occurs in Holstein cattle
  −
*Missence mutation of -Asp-128-Gly in CD18 molecule
  −
*Recurrent infection, e.g. pneumonia
