Abstract:BackgroundProgressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a group of canine inherited retinal disorders affecting up to 100 breeds. Genetic tests are available. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the genetic variants associated with PRA among dogs residing in Italy.MethodsGenetic data of 20 variants associated with different forms of PRA were collected through DNA tests over a 10‐year period for several dog breeds in the Italian canine population. Allelic and genotypic frequencies were calculated.Resul… Show more
