BTBD17-related lethality · BTBD17 embryonic lethality · Lethaler Entwicklungsdefekt (BTBD17) · BTBD17-assoziierte Letalität · Abortion (embryonic lethality), BTBD17-related · Embryonic lethality / abortion / XX DSD (BTBD17-related)
This genetic condition is caused by a mutation in the BTBD17 gene, which disrupts normal embryonic development. It affects multiple vital organ systems during the early stages of growth, leading to a severe failure to develop properly. This disruption is so critical to life that the affected puppies cannot survive to term or past the first few days of life.
Owners will typically only notice smaller litter sizes if the puppies pass away before birth. If born alive, affected puppies show extreme weakness and fail to survive past the first few days of life.
There is no treatment available for this fatal condition. Because affected puppies do not survive, there are no ongoing medical management or treatment costs, resulting in an expected cost of 0 EUR.
