Abstract excerpt
Naturally occurring retinal dystrophies in laboratory and companion animals represent a wealth of different conditions, some of which are important from a comparative point of view, and all of which offer opportunities to further the understanding of retinal function and reaction in health and disease. The study of animal models of retinal dystrophies has provided candidate genes for investigation in conditions...
