Rod-cone dysplasia type 3 is one of the various forms of progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). This mutation leads to a progressive loss of night vision and subsequently daytime vision until total blindness.

Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) is a genetic disease observed in dogs, particularly in the Swedish Vallhund breed. This disease is characterized by the multifocal appearance of red and brown discoloration in the ocular fundus, followed over time by thinning of the retina. It progresses in three stages: in Stage 2, there is a gradual loss of function of both rod and cone photoreceptors, measured by electroretinography. Night blindness occurs first at the end of Stage 2, followed by decreased daytime vision in Stage 3. Histological examinations confirm the loss of photoreceptor cells at Stage 3.
