Cat (Felis catus) — Leber congenital amaurosis (hereditary; OMIA-verified species predisposition)

Source: first-hand OMIA (University of Sydney) species-specific hereditary-disorder record, saved verbatim to source_file; every claim below is a C1 byte-substring of it.

Claims

Species: Cat (Felis catus)
Disorder: Leber congenital amaurosis
Mode of inheritance: Rah et al. (2005) characterised an autosomal recessive form of this disorder in Persian cats, and established a breeding colony.
Prevalence: As reported by Lyons et al. (2016): "Over 1700 cats from 40 different breeds and populations were genotyped for the AIPL1 variant, defining an allelic frequency in only Persian -related breeds of 1.15 %".

Associated gene(s)
