Article Synopsis
- Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) in Golden Retrievers (GR) is an inherited, progressive condition leading to vision loss, with the study focused on gene mutation frequencies in Brazilian GRs.
- All 121 GR samples analyzed were found to be wild-type for mutations PRA1 and PRA2, indicating no carriers in this population, while a small percentage (2.47%) showed heterozygous status for mutation PRA-prcd.
- The study highlights a lack of awareness among Brazilian breeders regarding the genetic factors of PRA and aims to educate and inform about these mutations for future research.
