Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is a group of rare lethal neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases that occur in a range of dog breeds, including Chihuahuas.Recently, a homozygous single base-pair deletion (c.

.846delT), which causes a frame shift generating a premature stop codon (p.Phe282Leufs13*) in the canine CLN7/MFSD8 gene, has been identified as a causative mutation for NCL in Chihuahuas.
The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of the mutant allele and/or copyright rate of NCL in Chihuahuas in Japan using a newly designed real-time PCR assay.Samples of saliva were randomly collected from 1007 Chihuahua puppies during physical examinations prior to the transportation to pet shops.Screening results revealed a copyright rate of 1.
