Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) represents a heterogeneous group of retinal dystrophies, distinct forms of which occur in different canine breeds. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the gene for the alpha-1 subunit of the rod specific G-protein transducin (GNAT1), a member of the phototransduction pathway, as a candidate for progressive rod cone degeneration (pred) in poodles, early retinal...
