PRCD
Description
The PRCD (photoreceptor disc component) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17.
The PRCD gene encodes a protein called Progressive rod-cone degeneration protein, which is primarily found in the retina. Mutations in this gene cause a type of inherited retinal degeneration in both humans and dogs. The gene has several different versions due to alternative splicing.
