The Disease |
|
The Rdy PRA is a “rod cone dysplasia” form of Progressive Retinal Atrophy caused by a deletion mutation in the CRX gene. The mutation results in a defective protein that is critical for eye development. Due to the mutation's dominant mode of inheritance, cats carrying one copy of this mutation have retarded development and degeneration of photoreceptor cells, which leads to early-onset blindness by 7 weeks of age.
