Short description
Ichthyosis in dogs is a condition of the skin.
General information
Ichthyosis in dogs is a condition of the skin. It causes extremely dry, thickened skin with flakes/scales. It is typically caused by a genetic mutation that causes defective or altered expression of the protein filaggrin. This variant, documented in a German Shepherd, is a result of a defect in the gene ASPRV1.
