In bulldog dog DNA lies the secret to a rare human disease

The outer appearance of the boldog dog with its suspension tendons, twisted tails, and distant eyes seem to have intrigued scholars.

And such a sight may be a particular genetic variant that may be linked to a rare human disease.

Such a discovery was carried out by the University of California.

The Searchers Took the Study And more than 100 bulldog dogs.

The analysis showed that a single gene mutation called DVL2 is common to all races and is responsible for facial features.

The same gene family, the authors explain, is the basis for Robinow syndrome, a rare disorder that has certain symptoms, such as column injuries.

The study also showed a molecular mechanism that could support some of the symptoms of the disease.

Understanding this mutation, which is common in dogs, can help understand human syndrome but is very rare, but with several hundred documented cases, the researchers explained.
