Meanings of progressive retinal atrophy in English

Serial optical coherence tomography revealed continued crystalline deposition with progressive retinal atrophy.

Objective: To assess the extent of progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) genetic heterogeneity within and between domestic dog breeds.

These results suggest the existence of a possibly hereditary, late-onset, progressive retinal atrophy in the Irish setter breed, that is distinct from rcd1.

This is also true in dogs, where the term progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is used to describe inherited photoreceptor degeneration resulting in progressive vision loss.

Conclusion: Progressive retinal atrophy in the dog displays significant genetic heterogeneity within as well as between breeds.
