General information
Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR) is an eye disorder characterised by multiple areas of retinal degeneration, potentially causing a loss of central vision. This variant of the disorder, CMR3, occurs specifically in the Lapponian Herder, Swedish Lapphund and the Finnish Lapphund. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene BEST1.
Clinical features
On veterinary examination, clinical signs of CMR include multiple tan-pink subretinal patches ("blisters") in both the tapetal and the non-tapetal fundus along with focal areas of tapetal hyper-reflectivity. The disorder does not typically lead to blindness.
