The condition is caused by a mutation in the GYS1 gene, leading to an abnormal accumulation of glycogen in the muscles. This can cause symptoms such as muscle tremors, stiffness, reluctance to move, and excessive sweating. Management of PSSM1 includes dietary changes and regular exercise to help mitigate symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca class=\"toggle-btn\" onclick=\"toggleSection('faq-content')\"\u003eCheck our FAQs for more information\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"expandable\" id=\"faq-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is genetic testing important for horse breeders?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenetic testing is essential for breeders to make informed breeding decisions and to ensure that their horses do not carry alleles for genetic disorders.
