ticked the first box of that checklist with regard to a form of congenital night blindness in dogs. Now, in a paper in the journalScientific Reports, they announce success in the second stage: they've identified the gene responsible.
Because the inheritance pattern they observed in the dogs is characteristic of several forms of human night blindness, the scientists examined genetic markers in both night-blind and carrier dogs to see if they had mutations in genes that also cause the disease in affected humans. But their analy...
Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), in the complete form, is caused by dysfunctions in ON-bipolar cells (ON-BCs) which are secondary neurons of the retina. We describe the first disease causative variant associated with CSNB in the dog. A genome-wide association study using 12 cases ...

by blindness thou art blest; By dotage dandled to perpetual smiles. Know, smiler! at thy peril art thou pleased; Thy pleasure is the promise of thy pain. Misfortune, like a creditor severe, But rises in demand for her delay; She makes a scourge of past prosperity, To sting thee more...
This is interesting, I noticed some night blindness in the past couple of years, worse in one eye. I never used to wear glasses before and I suddenly had to get them for distance at 30... before that, I was pretty much 20/20. How frustrating that it could be related. 2 weeks late...
To get a first down you either need to advance ten yards or someone on your team needs to eat 20 hot dogs. The fourth quarter would be really interesting to watch. (on a first date) Me: What do you do for a living? Her: I work in the admissions department in a mental hospital....
They have also created alchemical substances which allow them to hurl a blindness effect at their enemies. Another alchemical substance can react with their alloy to create a blur effect temporarily. Lastly they use pigments and carry camouflage clothing material to create the effect of change self...
A scream. Had rounded a corner, surprised a rattler, rattles, scares horse, rears, she is thrown off back, concussion and also temporary blindness for about six days. Have no love for rattlers either. For more small miracles, re our slithering air tasting friends, Deity's grace that I ...
