| 英文描述 | Nubian goats with neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis developed neurologic dysfunction. Signs started as early as 4 months of age, with an average age of onset of 6 months. In all cases there was progression leading to death, although in some animals there were varying periods of remission followed by exacerbation. No animal survived past 4 years of age. This is apparently inherited as an autosomal recessive. At necropsy there was swelling of neurons due to accumulation of ceroid-lipofuscin within neuronal cytoplasm. There is no treatment. There is a tendency for females with this disease to develop coarse facial features lacking feminine characteristics. |
