First genetic investigation of a movement disorder in Norwich Terriers published
We have recently published our preliminary genetic investigation of paroxysmal dyskinesia (PxD), a movement disorder, that is prevalent in the numerically small Norwich Terrier breed and for which no cause has been established to date in this breed. Our paper has been published in the peer-reviewed, open access journal, Animal Genetics.
