Several inherited diseases affect domestic animal species and present diagnostic challenges. This webinar will cover a wide range of inherited diseases, primarily in dogs, cats, and cattle, and the biomarkers available for making a clinical (laboratory) diagnosis. Biomarkers that will be discussed include leukocyte inclusions, magnetic resonance imaging, and urine derivatives analyzed by GC-MS. Inherited diseases will include lysosomal storage diseases such as gangliosidosis, mucopolysaccharidosis, and neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis; erythrocyte enzymopathies such as pyruvate kinase deficiency; immune disorders such as trapped neutrophil syndrome; coagulopathies such as hemophilia; and other inborn errors of metabolism.
