The Gene Therapy Breakthrough Helping Dachshunds | Veterinary News

Dr. Shannon Gregoire and Dr. Elan Armstrong are back with another round of veterinary news you need to know — and this one hits different. In this episode of Catching Up, Shannon Gregoire and Dr. Elan Armstrong cover the heartwarming stories of dogs saving human lives, then dive deep into a cutting-edge science story: a genetic disorder called neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) that affects Dachshunds — and the gene therapy and enzyme replacement treatments that are changing the prognosis. They break down how a deficiency in TPP1 leads to progressive neurodegeneration, how researchers drew parallels to Tay-Sachs disease in humans, and how a functional copy of the CLN2 gene is now being delivered through gene therapy. This is next-level veterinary medicine — and Shannon and Elan make it make sense. What's covered in this episode: – Real stories of dogs rescuing people – Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis in Dachshunds – What happens when TPP1 is missing – The connection between canine NCL and Tay-Sachs disease in children – CLN2 gene therapy and enzyme replacement therapy breakthroughs Vet Candy brings you the news that matters to veterinary professionals — straight, smart, and without the fluff. #VetCandy #CatchingUp #VeterinaryMedicine #DogHealth #GenTherapy #Dachshund #NeurologicalDisease #VetNews #NCL #CLN2 #DrShannonGregoire #DrElanArmstrong 🚨 Subscribe and hit the notification bell 🔔: tiny.cc/px9bnz ✅ Subscribe for new content every week: tiny.cc/px9bnz ✅ Join Vet Candy for free: https://www.myvetcandy.com/join ✅ Follow us on social media: @myvetcandy ➡️ Get our Vet Candy merch — 100% of proceeds go to charity! myvetcandy.com/shop Follow/Connect: Instagram:   / myvetcandy   Facebook:   / myvetcandy   LIKE.
