Informations générales
Van den Ende-Gupta Syndrome (VDEGS) is an inherited skeletal disorder. It is due to an autosomal recessive mutation in the scavenger receptor class F, member 2 (SCARF2) gene, which plays a critical role in the bone mineralization and skeletal development. VDEGS is characterized by significant skeletal abnormalities such as joint luxations and related orthopedic issues. It is a rare but severe disorder that is primarily seen in Wire Fox Terriers.
Caractéristiques cliniques
Affected dogs have a prominent underbite due to a short upper jaw (maxilla). Other clinical manifestations include luxation of the elbow or patella (dislocated kneecap), swollen knee joints and skeletal deformities such as bowed legs.
