CNP-related lysosomal storage disease · CNP-LSD · Lysosomale Speicherkrankheit (CNP-Gen) · Lysosomal storage disease associated with CNP · CNP-deficiency lysosomal storage disease
This hereditary metabolic disorder is caused by a genetic defect that prevents cells from properly breaking down cellular waste. This waste builds up inside the cells, particularly in the brain and nervous system, leading to progressive damage. Over time, this accumulation disrupts normal neurological functions.
Symptoms typically appear in puppies or young dogs and include noticeable coordination problems, tremors, vision loss, and behavioral changes. These neurological signs steadily worsen over time.
There is no cure for this condition, and treatment is limited to supportive care to keep the dog comfortable. Managing this progressive disease through palliative care typically costs between €1,000 and €3,500 over the dog's remaining lifespan.
Estimated range of typical treatment cost. Actual cost depends on severity, clinic and region.
