Histopathological examinations demonstrate clefting of the epidermis from the underlying dermis within or just below the basement membrane. The symptoms include mucocutaneous blistering, nail loss and enamel defects, as well as exuberant granulation tissue of the larynx and trachea resulting in severe respiratory distress. Affected dogs are often stillborn or they die early in life.
