General information
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) is a large group of genetic diseases in which the retina gradually degenerates over time, causing a progressive loss of vision. This variant of the disease, known as Early-Onset Cone-Rod Dystrophy (crd4-PRA), or as cord1, occurs in the Miniature Longhaired Dachshund and the English Springer Spaniel. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene RPGRIP1.
Clinical features
Eventual blindness in affected individuals.
Additional information
Mutation on the RPGRIP1 is tested, not on MAP9.
