Alexander disease.
Alexander disease (AxD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder of the astrocytes comprised of two clinical forms: AxD Type I and Type II manifesting with various degrees of macrocephaly, spasticity, ataxia and seizures and leading to psychomotor regression and death.
Which dogs are a natural model of this human disease. Each row is a distinct gene pathway with a canine model, ranked by evidence strength. We assert the canine disease models the human one (gene-level), never that a dog allele equals a human variant.

The boundary of this model. The rows above are the characterized
pathways, human genes of this disease with a canine model in our substrate.
The panel of established genes is joined from GenCC, so covered and uncovered genes are both named. A gene can still be a cause of this disease at below-established validity, or through a mechanism no gene panel captures.
