Other large breed dogs, including the Great Dane, can present clinically with LPPN, and this breed previously was identified as a carrier of the LPPN3 variant. To date, homozygosity for this variant has not been identified in Great Dane dogs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Interventions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results of neurological examination, electrodiagnostic testing, and muscle and nerve biopsy samples were consistent with lower motor neuron disease associated with axonal degeneration and large nerve fiber loss in two young Great Dane dogs with gait abnormalities and respiratory difficulty.
