Informazioni generali
Achromatopsia (sometimes referred to as Cone Degeneration or Hemeralopia) is an eye disorder that can cause day blindness, sensitivity to light and a loss of colour vision. This particular form of the disorder is known as Achromatopsia-3, and is caused by a recessive mutation to the gene CNGB3. The variant analysed in this test occurs in the Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky and Australian Shepherd. A related variant occurs in the German Shorthaired Pointer.
