Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do genetic testing on your breeding dogs?
We absolutely do this. All adult Shih Tzu's that are bred at Royal Baez Basset are genetically tested and free of Degenerative Myelopathy, DM (SOD1A), Prekallikrein Deficiency (KLKB1 Exon 8) Congenital Dyshormonogenic Hypothyroidism with Goiter (SLC5A5, Shih Tzu Variant) Chondrodystrophy and Intervertebral Disc Disease, CDDY/IVDD, Type I IVDD
What is Degenerative Myelopathy, DM (SOD1A)
The dog equivalent of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, DM is a progressive degenerative disorder of the spinal cord. Because the nerves that control the hind limbs are the first to degenerate, the most common clinical signs are back muscle wasting and gait abnormalities. The gene is SOD1A*, and the mode of inheritance is recessive. (Embark)Citations: Awano et al 2009, Shelton et al 2012, Capuccio et al 2014
What is Chondrodystrophy and Intervertebral Disc Disease, CDDY/IVDD, Type I IVDD
Type I Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is a back/spine issue that refers to a health condition affecting the discs that act as cushions between vertebrae. With Type I IVDD, affected dogs can have a disc event where it ruptures or herniates towards the spinal cord. This pressure on the spinal cord causes neurologic signs which can range from a wobbly gait to impairment of movement. Chondrodystrophy (CDDY) refers to the relative proportion between a dog’s legs and body, wherein the legs are shorter and the body longer. There are multiple different variants that can cause a markedly chondrodystrophic appearance as observed in Dachshunds and Corgis. However, this particular variant is the only one known to also increase the risk for IVDD. (Embark)Citations: Brown et al 2017 Batcher et al 2019
What is Prekallikrein Deficiency (KLKB1 Exon 8)
Prekallikrein is an enzyme necessary for the activation of certain clotting proteins. Fortunately, this is a benign blood disorder and is not associated with increased bleeding tendencies. The gene is KLKB1 Exon 8. The mode of inheritance is recessive. (Embark) Citations: Okawa et al 2011
What is Congenital Dyshormonogenic Hypothyroidism with Goiter (SLC5A5, Shih Tzu Variant)
Congenital primary hypothyroidism (CH) is attributed to abnormal development (dysgenesis) of the thyroid gland (e.g. agenesis, hypoplasia, and ectopia) or in rare cases by improper thyroid hormone synthesis, also called dyshormonogenesis (CDH). Inactivating mutations in the SLC5A5 gene produce an iodide transport defect which may be associated with goiters. The gene is SLC5A5. The mode of inheritance is recessive.
