• Resumen

  • Genetic testing can help identify horses with ocular disorders and tests are available for congenital stationary night blindness and multiple congenital ocular anomalies.

    Genetic testing can also help identify horses at risk for developing ocular disorders, including equine recurrent uveitis and squamous cell carcinoma.

    Screening horses for genetic mutations can help inform management decisions for an earlier diagnosis and better prognosis.
