Shar-Pei Fever (SPAID)
Kodas: H891
Short description
Familial Shar-Pei Fever, also called Shar-Pei Autoinflammatory Disease (SPAID) is a hereditary autoimmune condition characterised by recurrent fever attacks and arthritis (swollen and painful heels).
General information
Familial Shar-Pei Fever, also called Shar-Pei Autoinflammatory Disease (SPAID) is a hereditary autoimmune condition characterised by recurrent fever attacks and arthritis (swollen and painful heels). Therefore it is also called “Swollen Hock Syndrome”. A causal mutation responsible for the disease was identified in the MDM2 Binding Protein (MTBP) gene.

Clinical features
Clinical signs of SPAID are fever, pain in the hind legs, excessive drinking and excessive urination. Shar-Pei/Shar Pei/Sharpei Fever can be treated by a veterinarian through painkillers and medication to support kidney functions and reduce fever.
Additional information
The consensus about the inheritence pattern of the variant tested here is currently multifactorial with an incomplete genetic component. This means that researchers show that the phenotype cannot be explained by a dominant mode of inheritance only. More research needs to be performed in order to fully explain this phenotype.
