| 英文描述 | Neuroaxonal dystrophy in kittens is characterized by swelling of the distal segments of axons (spheroids) within the central nervous system (Carmichael et al.). Kittens are normal for an initial postnatal period then develop progressive neurologic deficits. In a subset of this disease inherited as an autosomal recessive trait there is an associated coat color abnormality, with affected animals colored like the 'lilac' Siamese, while littermates are black. Neuroaxonal dystrophy has also been reported in cats with normal coat color (Carmichael et al.). |
