Abstract excerpt
In the present study, diagnostic methods for canine G(M1)-gangliosidosis were examined by comparing a DNA mutation assay with an enzyme assay. Sixty-two Shiba dogs of a pedigree with G(M1)-gangliosidosis were differentiated into 3 genotypes, i.e., normal, heterozygous, and homozygous affected dogs, using a DNA mutation assay, which consists of polymerase chain reaction amplification and the determination of...
