Note

In dogs, as in other species, there are many hereditary forms of neuropathologic storage diseases with symptoms comparable to GCL. In breeds that are hardly related to the West Highland White Terrier and the Cairn Terrier different mutant genes may have comparable phenotypic effects. Dr. Urs Giger and his group in Pennsylvania and other scientists all over the world are searching for other hereditary forms of storage diseases.
