Health Summary
Flora inherited two variants that you should learn more about.
Golden Retriever Progressive Retinal Atrophy 1, GR-PRA1
What does this result mean?
This variant should not impact Flora’s health. This variant is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that a dog needs two copies of the variant to show signs of this condition. Flora is unlikely to develop this condition due to this variant because she only has one copy of the variant.
Impact on Breeding
Your dog carries this variant and will pass it on to ~50% of her offspring. You can email breeders@embarkvet.com to discuss with a genetic counselor how the genotype results should be applied to a breeding program.
What is Golden Retriever Progressive Retinal Atrophy 1, GR-PRA1?
Golden Retriever PRA 1 is a retinal disease that causes progressive, non-painful vision loss. The retina contains cells, called photoreceptors, that collect information about light and send signals to the brain. There are two types of photoreceptors: rods, for night vision and movement, and cones, for day vision and color. This type of PRA leads to early loss of rod cells, leading to night blindness before day blindness.
Ichthyosis, ICH1

What is Ichthyosis, ICH1?
This skin disorder gets its name from the thick, darkly pigmented scales of skin ("ichthys" is Greek for "fish") that affected dogs display over most areas of the body, not including the head or extremities.
