Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease, X-Linked (Basset Hound Type)

Description

X-Linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (Basset Hound Type) is an inherited disease affecting basset hounds.

Dogs affected with this disease are unable to produce a protein important for proper immune function, predisposing them to severe recurrent or chronic bacterial, viral and fungal infections.

Affected dogs will often present with symptoms of disease including failure to thrive, poor growth, weight loss, lethargy, diarrhoea, vomiting and lack of palpable lymph nodes at around 6 to 8 weeks of age.

Affected dogs may also present with active respiratory, skin, eye or ear infections. Affected dogs die within 4 months of age.
