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 early-onset variant of the disease, known as Early Retinal Degeneration (erd-PRA), is found in the Norwegian Elkhound Grey and Black. It is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene STK38L.
Clinical features
Clinical signs are usually present within the first 10 weeks as poor vision and night blindness.
