Abstract excerpt
A heritable neurodegenerative disease of English Setters has long been studied as a model of human neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (NCL). Megablast searches of the first build of the canine genome for potential causative genes located the CLN8 gene near the q telomere of canine chromosome 37, close to a marker previously linked to English Setter NCL. Sequence analysis of the coding region from affected dogs...
