PRA can be diagnosed by a blood test (DNA testing) in certain breeds, retinal testing
by electroretinogram (ERG), or through a complete eye examination.
This can be determined
by an electroretinogram (ERG) and often an ocular ultrasound should be done.
When transplanted to the subretinal space of mice lacking functional photoreceptors, human embryonic stem cells directed toward a retinal lineage integrate into the outer nuclear layer, express photoreceptor markers, and restore a light response as determined
by the electroretinogram (ERG)[5].
The researchers found that Rh7 could functionally substitute for Rh1 in flies missing Rh1, as measured
by electroretinogram, which is an extracellular recording of a neural signal in the fly eye in response to light.

by ophthalmologists to diagnose PRA is an
electroretinogram (ERG).
