Clinical features

Affected puppies are born with a visibly dilute coat colour. Within the first weeks of age, they will present with neurological symptoms: an inability to keep the head upright or to lie down normally (instead falling over onto one side), and decreased response to environmental stimuli. The severity of the symptoms typically necessitates euthanasia on humane grounds.
