identification of the gene and the mutation for the progressive degeneration of sensory (rods and cones) in the retinas of dogs and test methods

摘要

Tools and methods are provided for determining whether or not a dog is genetically normal, is a carrier of, or is affected with or predisposed to progressive rod-cone degeneration. The method is based on the detection of a transversion from G to A at position corresponding to nucleotide position 1298 of SEQ ID NO: 1.
