Informations générales

Alaskan Husky Encephalopathy (AHE) is a severe neurodegenerative disease unique to Alaskan Huskies. AHE causes neurological deficits such as seizures and loss of coordination, and is ultimately fatal. The disorder is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene SLC19A3. A related variant of the disorder also occurs in the Yorkshire Terrier, where it is known as Juvenile-Onset Necrotizing Encephalopathy.

Caractéristiques cliniques

Onset of AHE typically occurs before 1 year of age, though symptoms can occasionally present later. The main symptoms of the disease are ataxia (loss of coordination), including hypermetria (over-extending limbs while walking) and poor balance. Affected dogs have difficulty eating, may lose vision, and can experience seizures. Due to poor quality of life, euthanasia may be necessary.
