伴侣动物,即狗,猫,和马,可能会受到多种形式的遗传性视网膜疾病的影响。在过去十年中,这类疾病的数量大幅增加,术语是非标准化的,异质,和困惑。我们在这个观点中提供了伴侣动物遗传性视网膜疾病命名的共识指南,前瞻性或回顾性。制定这些共识指南的目的是使命名标准化。我们提供了迭代命名过程的示例以及有关先前描述的疾病的拟议重命名的全面文件S1。
Companion animals, namely dogs, cats, and horses, can be affected with many forms of
hereditary retinal disease. The number of such diseases characterized in the last decade has increased substantially, and nomenclature is nonstandardized, heterogenous, and confusing. We provide in this viewpoint article
consensus guidelines for naming of companion animal
hereditary retinal diseases, either prospectively or retrospectively. These
consensus guidelines have been developed with the purpose of standardizing nomenclature. We provide examples for the iterative nomenclature process and a comprehensive File S1 on proposed renaming of previously described diseases.
