Day blindness is a progressive and specific degeneration of cone photoreceptors in the retina of young dogs. This disorder has been associated with a breed-specific non-synonymous substitution in exon 6 of the cyclic nucleotide gated channel beta3 (CNGB3) gene in German Shorthaired Pointer dogs and a genomic deletion removing the entire gene in Alaskan Malamute dogs from the USA. To further investigate this disorder, we characterized CNGB3 in a three-generation pedigree of Alaskan Malamute dogs… CONTINUE READING
