An abnormality in retinal cyclic[c]GMP metabolism is demonstrated in the inherited rod-cone dysplasia of Irish Setter dogs. Affected visual cells are deficient in cGMP phosphodiesterase activity and have elevated levels of cGMP. The biochemical abnormalities observed in affected retinas of Irish Setters are similar to those in the retinas of mice with inherited retinal degeneration before visual cell degeneration begins. A defect in cGMP metabolism may be characteristic of early-onset degenerative diseases of the retina, possibly including those that affect humans.
