Informazioni generali
Hereditary Footpad Hyperkeratosis (HFH) is a skin disorder found in the Dogue de Bordeaux, causing severe and painful thickening and cracking of the paw pads. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene KRT16. It is also known as Focal Non-Epidermolytic Palmoplantar Keratoderma-1 (FNEPPK1).
Caratteristiche cliniche
Onset of HFH (aka FNEPPK1) can occur anywhere between 10 weeks and 1 year of age. The main symptom is a painful thickening of the paw pads, as well as the formation of cracks and/or lumpy growths of keratin. The cracks pose a risk of infection, which can in turn cause lameness.
