Hereditary Nasal Parakeratosis is a genetic disorder affecting Labrador Retrievers caused by a mutation in the SUV39H2 gene. It affects cells in the nose and predisposes dogs toward bacterial infections. This condition is inherited in the autosomal recessive fashion, meaning both parents must be carriers for a litter to be affected.
