Informazioni generali
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a neurological disease characterised by weakness and atrophy (degeneration) of muscles. This variant of the disease is found in the Maine Coon, and is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene LIX1.
Caratteristiche cliniche
Signs include gait abnormalities and a muscle tremor primarily involving the hindquarters. By the age of 5 months, muscular atrophy is evident in all limbs. Cats usually show an abnormal gait, with wide-placed forelimbs and a swaying pelvis.
