The disease is characterised by dystrophic changes of the neurons that cause axonal swellings. In Rottweiler clinical signs begin at young age and progress mildly. Symptoms include postural deficits, ataxia, hyperthermia, intention tremor and nystagmus. Specific genetic mutation in VPS11 gene has been identified in Rottweilers with NAD.
