Finnish Hounds suffer from an inherited disease, progressive cerebellar ataxia. This disease has an early onset, showing clinical signs as early as 3 months, with symptoms including tremors, progressive motor incoordination, and developmental delay. This has been traced to a homozygous missense mutation in a gene called SEL1L. The disease may be identified by detecting cerebellar shrinkage through MRI.
