Congenital myasthenic syndrome Labrador retriever type belongs in a group of conditions, known as Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS).
CMS is an inherited neuromuscular transmission disorder.
It results in structural or functional defects of the neuromuscular junction, the place where nerve and muscle cells meet.
Affected dogs are able to run normally for 5–30 min after which they take shorter and shorter strides and eventually fall down with flexed fore- and hindlegs.
After some minutes rest, they are able to walk and run again for variable periods of time before the signs reappear.
