Abstract:
Geographic retinal dysplasia is inherited in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This detailed multimodal imaging description of an affected dog demonstrates that the presumed dysplastic retina area consists of a thickened retinal nerve fiber layer, similar to plaque-like lesions previously reported in other breeds, such as the Labrador Retriever.

Pedigree Analysis
Overview
Incomplete Dominance
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.
