Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS)
Kodas: H787
Short description
Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS) is a hereditary immune disease common to Border Collies.
General information
Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS) is a hereditary immune disease common to Border Collies. Affected dogs’ bone marrow is unable to properly release white blood cells into the bloodstream, causing various bodily complications as well as an extreme vulnerability to infections due to a poor immune system. TNS is therefore often fatal within the first year. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene VPS13B.
