Equine neuroaxonal dystrophy/equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (eNAD/EDM)\nis an inherited neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology. Clinical signs of neurological\ndeficits develop within the first year of life in vitamin E (vitE) deficient horses. A genome-wide\nassociation study (GWAS) was carried out using 670,000 SNP markers in 27 case and 42 control\nQuarter Horses. Two markers, encompassing a 2.5 Mb region on ECA7, were associated with the\nphenotype (p = 2.05 * 10-7 and 4.72 * 10-6). ................
