Brief Answer:
Disease of cats

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

Key Gaskell is dysautonomic disease in cats, where the automatic nerves that regulate basic body functions go wrong. It is autosomal dominant. It only affects cats. However, there are many diseases in humans that affect the autonomic system, such as diabetes, Parkinson's, amyloidosis and diverse forms of primary neuropathies.
