The gangliosidose (GM) The Gangliosidoses under all their declensions (Gangliosidose in GM1, Gangliosidose in GM1 marks 1, Gangliosidose in GM1 marks 2, Gangliosidose in GM1 marks 3, Gangliosidose in variable GM2 OH) are very rare hereditary illnesses that can also touch the Korat race! This genetic defect drags among the kittens when the two parents are carriers of this illness the symptoms of juvenile Parkinson (it doesn't recognize you anymore!), often a progressive paralysis of the most sinewy paws (rears) the first months. This locomotive ataxia generally evolve toward a state of decerebration with crises of epilepsy. It is rare that such a kitten celebrates its first birthday. It is to note that in 50% of the cases a stain red cherry to the bottom of eye is recovered. All cat carrier should be sterilized ideally.
Before making reproduce your cat you must verify that it (and the other future related) is well negative to the GM test. It is not useful to test a cat if all his/her/its parents (or big parents, etc.) are negative since this illness seems strongly hereditary but you can always make it if it makes some generations that it to been not made for its forebears... This type of test doesn't achieve itself in France to my knowledge. It is sufficient to ask Doctor Baker that he/it sends you a kit to send he back with the blood withdrawal done by your veterinarian. He will send you thereafter the results. Don't forget to keep the blood withdrawals always in your fridge and to send them as quickly as possible. Here are its coordinates : Dr. Henry J. Baker
