Abstract excerpt

The generalized progressive retinal atrophies (gPRAs) form a group of retinal degenerations of pedigree dogs and cats, which have a variety of genetic origins (mostly unknown). We have examined the opsin gene for polymorphisms in several breeds of pedigree dog suffering from distinct forms of gPR...
