Familial Narcolepsy in Dogo Argentino Dogs Is Caused by a Tandem Duplication Mutation in HCRTR2
This discovery emphasizes the critical role of the HCRTR2 gene in narcolepsy in dogs, and the diversity of mutations that can lead to this condition. Further genetic testing in this breed is warranted to identify carriers and prevent the further spread of this condition.
