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 specific variant of the disorder, known as Rod-Cone Dysplasia 1a (rcd1a or rcd1a-PRA), is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene PDE6B. It is found in the Sloughi.
Clinical features
rcd1a-PRA is characterised by poor dark vision, visual field defects which can progress to blindness over a period of time.
