Informazioni generali
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) is a large group of genetic diseases in which the retina gradually degenerates over time, causing a progressive loss of vision. This specific variant of the disorder, found in the Shih-Tzu, is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene JPH2.
Caratteristiche cliniche
Onset of clinical signs in affected dogs occurs in later adulthood, between the ages of 5 and 9 years. Symptoms include a hyper-reflective tapetum and loss of vision. Opthalmologic examination may reveal atrophy of the optic nerve and changes to the pigment of the retina.
