  • Title: Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina in a cat.
    Author: Valle DL, Boison AP, Jezyk P, Aguirre G.
    Journal: Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci; 1981 Feb; 20(2):251-5. PubMed ID: 7461927.
    Abstract:
    An adult male, domestic short-haired cat with generalized retinal atrophy was found to have a 60-fold increase in plasma ornithine and ornithinuria. Ornithine-8-aminotransferase activity was undetectable in its tissues and in its cultured skin fibroblasts. This feline condition is thus analogous to gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina in humans.
