PRA1

  • Papillon

Progressive retinal atrophy, an eye disease that eventually robs dogs of vision. Papillons are subject to several types of PRA. The version known as PRA1 starts earlier than other forms, although the end result is the same.

The PRA1 gene is an autosomal recessive inherited disesase.
