− | ====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
