Informazioni generali
May-Hegglin Anomaly (MHA) is a blood disorder that causes the formation of abnormally-large platelets, which can result in symptoms such as skin lesions and lowered platelet counts. This variant of the disease, caused by a dominant mutation to the gene MYH9, has been observed in the Pug.
Caratteristiche cliniche
Affected dogs display thrombocytopenia (lowered blood platelet counts), but might not necessarily develop any bleeding problems. Additionally, an affected dog may develop skin lesions and white plaques in the mouth following immunosuppressive treatment.
