Cirneco oculo-neurological syndrome (CONS)

Cirneco oculo-neurological syndrome (CONS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by retinal and neurological manifestations. The clinical signs of affected dogs include degeneration of retinal photoreceptors causing a loss of sight, along with paroxysmal neurological episodes consisting of head tremors and involuntary movements of one of the front limbs. The episodes are sporadic and described as either atypical seizures or paroxysmal dyskinesias. The retinal abnormalities are typically detected around 4 years of age, meanwhile the neurological abnormalities are likely to be present much earlier, at around 2–2.5 years of age.
