The Disease |
 |
Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) occurs in many breeds. The mutation responsible for this disease has already been identified in a number of breeds, DNA tests have been developed to enable breeders to avoid breeding affected dogs. With continued research the mutation that causes PRA in Basenjis has recently been identified and a test is now available at Laboklin. |

Description |
|
The onset of disease and the severity of the symptoms vary greatly. In Basenjis PRA occurs late in life, it begins with night blindess and ends with complete blindness. The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. LABOKLIN now offers a genetic test for PRA in these breeds. It should be noted, that there are other forms of PRA with different genetic causes.
