Details
PRA rcd4 is one of a number of late-onset PRAs (sometimes called LOPRA) Unlike other forms of PRA, such as rcd1, the age at which dogs with the rcd4 mutation develop PRA varies with reports as young as 2-3 up to 10-11 yo. The most common age of diagnosis and possible onset seems to be around 9 years. It is unknown if this is due to delays in clinical diagnosis, a manifestation of the disease, or some other variable. Owners and breeders should be aware that some breeds, such as the Irish Setter, have at least 3 identified different forms of PRA mutations, and that any tests for rcd4 identify the risks for that specific mutation only.

Unpublished. However, the research group at the AHT has indicated they have unpublished data indicating dogs of these breeds are homozygous for this mutation and is affected with the associated disease, which they would be willing to share with an expert panel.

Application in the Breed
Carriers may be bred to normal animals (N/rcd1 x N/N). Offspring should be tested before breeding. No breeding of two carriers (N/rcd1 x N/rcd1) nor of affected animals (rcd1/rcd1). Retina degenerates ( 3 weeks of age), leading to blindness (early adulthood)
