ABSTRACT
The case of a 5-month-old male Weimaraner dog with severe osteodystrophia fibrosa (rubber jaw) and renal insufficiency is presented. Kidneys were smaller than normal with a granular cortical surface and a histopathological end-stage diagnosis consistent with juvenile nephropathy. Analysis of four described genetic mutations associated with Alport syndrome in dogs revealed no evidence for familiar inheritance in this dog.
