Genome-wide mRNA sequencing of a single canine cerebellar cortical degeneration case leads to the identification of a disease associated <it>SPTBN2</it> mutation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Neonatal cerebellar cortical degeneration is a neurodegenerative disease described in several canine breeds including the Beagle. Affected Beagles are unable to ambulate normally from the onset of walking and the main pathological fi...
