Canine Multifocal Retinopathy 2
Body function: Eyes
In collaboration with
Canine multifocal retinopathy 2 is an eye disease caused by a mutation in the Bestrophin 1 gene. It causes retinal detachment, typically appearing around 3 months of age and progressing slowly until 1 year old. This disease specifically affects Coton de Tulear dogs and is inherited in the autosomal recessive fashion, meaning both parents must be carriers of the mutation for a puppy to be affected.
