Progressive Retinal Atrophy (BBS2 - PRA)

PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) is a condition that causes the parts of the eye that are sensitive to light to break down. PRA produces a gradual loss of vision in both eyes, eventually leading to total blindness. A number of breeds are affected by PRA, and although the clinical effects are usually the same, each breed's version of PRA is often caused by a different genetic mutation. Sadly there is no cure for PRA.
