Cone degeneration

Cone degeneration (also called Achromatopsia) is a disease characterized by loss of cone photoreceptor function, resulting in daytime blindness, complete color blindness and reduced central visual acuity.

The cause of this disease is a deletion involving several genes, including the key gene CNGB3.

The disease mainly affects breeds of Arctic lineage such as the Siberian Husky or the Alaskan Malamute.

Inheritance is autosomal recessive.
