Abstract Background Generalized progressive retinal atrophy gPRA is a hereditary ocular disorder with progressive photoreceptor degeneration in dogs. Four retina-specific genes ATP binding cassette transporter retina ABCA4 connexin 36 CX36 c-mer tyrosin kinase receptor MERTK and photoreceptor cell retinol dehydrogenase RDH12 were investigated in order to identify mutations leading to autosomal recessive ar gPRA in 29 breeds of dogs. Results Mutation screening was performed initially by PCR and single strand conformation polymorphism SSCP analysis representing a simple method with comparatively high reliability for identification of sequence variations in many samples. Conspicuous banding patterns were analyzed via sequence analyses in order to detect the underlying nucleotide variations. No pathogenetically relevant mutations were detected in the genes ABCA4 CX36 MERTK .
