AMERICAN & IRISH CHAMPION ALILAH REAL

FOR SIDDHARTHA
JUNIOR
CHAMPION & EURO JUNIOR WINNER '09

Sunday 30th June 2013
|
As of
today Leo is
the ninth ranked
Tibetan Terrier
in all breed
points in the
United
States of
America.
Not bad
for only six
shows, plus the
fact that all of
the other top
ten dogs are
Grand Champions
and he still
needs one point
for his
championship
title.
I am so
proud of my
handsome boy,
and very
grateful to
Susan and Gary
Carr for looking
after him so
well. I am
also indebted to
Pat Tempest for
allowing Leo to
come to Ireland
to join the
Siddhartha Crew.

Progressive
Retinal Atrophy
(PRA) In Tibetan
Terriers
Geneticists at
the Kennel Club
Genetics Centre
at the Animal
Health Trust
have discovered
a mutation that
causes a form of
progressive
retinal atrophy
(PRA) in Tibetan
Terriers. We are
calling this
form of the
disease
PRA3
to distinguish
it from other,
genetically
distinct, forms
of PRA that are
caused by
different
mutations,
including the
previously
reported RCD4
mutation that is
also known to
cause PRA in
some Tibetan
Terriers.
Together the
PRA3 and RCD4
mutations
account for
approximately
half of Tibetan
Terrier PRA
cases that we
investigated
during our
research,
although the
number of
samples from
dogs with PRA
was small and
these
proportions
might not be
representative
of the wider
population.
During the
latter half of
2013 the AHT
will collaborate
with the Kennel
Club (KC) to
screen a random
subset of KC
registered
Tibetan Terriers
to determine the
frequency of
both mutations
more accurately.
The mutation(s)
that cause PRA
in the other
affected Tibetan
Terriers
remain(s)
unknown and
cannot therefore
be detected by
any DNA test at
present.
As for RCD4, the
PRA3 mutation is
recessive,
meaning a dog
needs to inherit
two copies of
the mutation to
be clinically
affected with
PRA. PRA3 is a
late-onset
condition and
clinical signs
can usually be
detected by an
ophthalmologist
from 4-7 years
of age. The
onset of RCD4 is
variable, but is
usually around
10 years of age.
Any Tibetan
terrier that has
2 copies of
either the PRA-3
or RCD4 mutation
will develop
PRA, assuming it
lives long
enough to do so.
A DNA test for
PRA3 will become
available from
the Animal
Health Trust
July 8th
2013
Full details
will be made
available on our
website shortly:

IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT
FROM ANIMAL
HEALTH TRUST
REGARDING PRA
from Cathryn
Mellersh PhD
Head of Canine
Genetics
New PRA DNA Test
Available to
Tibetan Terriers
from 8th July,
2013
http://www.ahtdnatesting.co.uk
I am very
pleased to be
able to tell you
that geneticists
from the Kennel
Club Genetics
Centre at the
Animal Health
Trust have
identified a
mutation that
causes
progressive
retinal atrophy
(PRA) in the
Tibetan Spaniel
and Tibetan
Terrier.
A DNA test based
on this mutation
will become
available July
8th 2013.
The
mutation was
identified by
Louise Downs, as
part of her PhD
studies, and
represents the
culmination of
over a decade of
investigation by
Louise and other
members of the
research team
into this
condition.
There are many
people I would
like to thank
for their
contributions
towards this
success,
including all
the owners and
ophthalmologists
who have
contributed DNA
and information
from their dogs
& patients to
the project and
the PetPlan
Charitable
Trust, the
Kennel Club
Charitable Trust
and all the
Breed Clubs and
individuals who
have supported
the research
financially.
