General information
Generalized progressive retinal atrophy (gPRA) is an inherited disease that is characterised by slowly progressive blindness over a period of time. gPRA leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells in dogs but also in other pets. gPRA shows strong similarities with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in humans.
Clinical features
gPRA is characterised by poor dark vision, visual field defects which can progress to blindness over a period of time.
