Table 1. Characteristics of 22 dog breeds

From the total number of 805 animals all 112 PRA-affected and many representative unaffected dogs from the pedigrees were investigated. Characteristics included age of onset forms and age distribution of normal and PRA affected dogs during the time of DNA isolation of the RCV1 gene in 22 breeds. The ages of onset were classified according to [33] for AC; according to the owners' report/certificate of eye examination for BDP, Bo, CCR, D, GR, GS, IRS (late form), NF, PON, Ro, Sa, ScT, SD and Sl; according to reviews [1,34] and online information from PRA Today for Co, ECS, IRS (early form) LR, MP and TT; and according to [35] for EM.
