CDN - Colour Dilution Neuropathy, Griscelli type 1 analogue syndrome

The hereditary disease, whose causative mutation in the MYO5A gene is detected with the test, was initially called Griscelli type 1 analogue syndrome because of the analogy in humans. In dogs, the term 'Colour Dilution Neuropathy' (CDN) has become common as well.
The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. If homozygous, living but non-viable puppies are born.
Application: Identification of carrier animals for breeding selection.
