Informazioni generali
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) is a developmental disorder of the eye occurring in Collie-related dogs such as the Collie, Border Collie, Australian Shepherd and Shetland Sheepdog. The disorder causes abnormal eye development and can potentially lead to vision loss and blindness. It has been linked to a recessive mutation to the gene NHEJ1.
Caratteristiche cliniche
CEA can manifest in very young dogs. Clinical signs include undersized eyeballs with a sunken appearance, a cloudy look to the eyes, and symptoms of vision loss. Opthalmological examination by a veterinarian can reveal lesions on the retinas.
Informazioni aggiuntive
This variant is not causal in some dog breeds (e.g. Danish Rough Collie and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers).
