| Research Abstract |
Clinical conditions of the dilated cardiomyopathy in the American Cocker spaniel (ACS) family developed dilated cardiomyopathy and a cataract were analyzed. Protein expressions and various gene analyses participating in outbreak of the dilated cardiomyopathy were analyzed. As a result, the outbreak of dilated cardiomyopathy in ACS family was found in this study. Outbreaks of cardiomyopathy and cataract were associated with the decrease of the expression level of Alpha B-crystallin (CRYAB) in the skeletal muscle. Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the amino acid non-coding regions of CRYAA or CRYAB gene were found, suggesting a relationship between cardiomyopathy and genetic polymorphism.
