Table 1. Characteristics of 26 dog breeds

From the total number of 821 animals, all 123 gPRA-affected and some representative unaffected dogs from the pedigrees were investigated. Characteristics included age of onset forms and age distribution of normal and gPRA affected dogs during the time of DNA isolation of the RPE65 gene in 26 breeds. The ages of onset were classified according to [29] for AC; according to the owners' report/certificate of eye examination for Bo, CCR, D, GR, GS, IRS (late form) NF, PON, Ro, Sa, ScT, SD and Sl; according to reviews [1,30] and online information from gPRA Today for Co, ECS, IRS (early form) LR, MP and TT; and according to [31] for EM.
