Mutation: LAMB3-Gen

In Great Danes generalized muscle atrophy

Affected dogs grow disproportionately

Meanwhile the mutations in the gene ATP7B result in defective ATP7B transporter so the copper cannot be properly exported from the liver

D-Lokus (d1) Searchterm These signs get worse overD Locus is responsible for coat colour dilution. Known mutations of the MLPH gene (melanophilin) are responsible for most cases of diluted colours. MLPH gene encodes a protein melanophilin, a key component in the hair and skin pigment formation. A mutation in the gene causes the improper distribution of melanosomes and coat colour dilution. It has an effect on the formation of black eumelanin as well as red yellow pheomelanin, though in lesser extent.
