Robinow-like Syndrome (DVL2)
Robinow-like Syndrome (DLV2), also known as screw tail, is a hereditary trait that affects skeletal development. It is caused by a mutation in the DVL2 gene, leading to a non-functional protein and disruption of normal spine formation. This mutation is found in Boston Terriers, Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs, where it contributes to the characteristic shortened, kinked “screw” tail and the typical bulldog-type body shape.
