Rod-cone dysplasia type 1 (rcd1) is one of several canine photoreceptor degenerations, collectively termed progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), that afflict different breeds of dogs. The rcd1 phenotype is an early onset autosomal recessive disease caused by a nonsense amber mutation, at codon 807, in the canine gene for the beta-subunit of rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (canine PDEB). The mutation involves a G to...
