OMIA:002085-9615 : Retinal atrophy, progressive, Whippet in Canis lupus familiaris (dog)

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Links to MONDO diseases: No links.

Mendelian trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: Autosomal recessive

Considered a defect: yes

Key variant known: no

Genetic engineering: Unknown
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing

Clinical features: As reported by Somma et al. (2016), "The retinal dystrophy reported here in Whippet dogs has a unique phenotype of an initial lack of ERG b-wave, development of retinal bullae then a progressive generalized retinal degeneration".

Breed: Whippet (Dog) (VBO_0201421).
Breeds in which the phene has been documented. For breeds in which a likely causal variant has been documented, see the variant table below
