Details
If eye-tested at or before 10 weeks of age, the appearance may be normal to an opthamologist. Early signs of disease can be detected by an opthamoligist from around 6 months of age. Signs of vision loss in the dog may become noticable by owners from 9 months. The effects of this mutation were initially believed to result in an early onset form of PRA, typically with an age of onset around two years of age, but more recent results show that some dogs with two copies of this mutation are not diagnosed until much later in life, sometimes as late as 10 years of age.

The earliest ophthalmoscopic signs, which include changes in the granular appearance of the tapetal fundus followed by generalized tapetal hyperreflectivity and retinal vascular attenuation, are detectable at approximately 6 months of age. The electroretinogram of affected dogs is typically normal in waveform and latency at 10 weeks of age but markedly reduced in amplitude or even virtually extinguished by 9 months.

Original publication (Mellersh et al., 2006) reported strong association between mutation and disease in an inbred colony of MLHDs. Subsequent publications reported variability in phenotype associated with this mutation in outbred MLHDs and in Expert comments: 2016 Forman et al., reported a second mutation, in MAP9, that modifies the effect of the RPGRIP1 insertion. This, and other studies, showed that MLHDs that are homozygous for the RPGRIP1 mutation alone are affected with a late-onset, slowly progressing cone deficit that doesn't necessarily lead to visual impairment, whereas dogs that are homozygous for the RPGRIP1 and MAP9 mutations suffer from an early onset, rapidly progressing disease. In breeds that segregate the MAP9 mutation, avoiding breeding RPGRIP1 homozygotes is rational because it can be associated with a blinding disease. In breeds that don't segregate the MAP9 mutation, breeding away from the RPGRIP1 mutation may simply serve the purpose of eliminating the late onset, slowly progressing disease. The challenge is that screening for the MAP9 mutation is technically very difficult, due to the nature of the mutation. In the absence of information regarding the segregation of MAP9 in a particular breed it seems prudent to breed away from RPGRIP1 in all varieties of Dachshunds. Mellersh, C. S., M. E. Boursnell, L.
