Advances in the molecular understanding of canine retinal diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Retinal dystrophies are a common cause of blindness in purebred dogs. Progressive retinal atrophy, the canine equivalent of retinitis pigmentosa in humans, is the most common dystrophy. Molecular studies have led to the identification of the genetic defect underlying some forms of progressive retinal atrophy and the mapping of the chromosomal location of others. Additionally, the gene mutation that causes a...
