Clinical and Genetic Data for English Cocker Spaniels with Progressive Retinal Atrophy

Supplementary Material 4 provides clinical phenotype, sex, and genetic testing results for sampled English Cocker Spaniel dogs. The data was authored by A. Bionda and last updated on 2026-05-01. It is a small dataset of 12.2 KB, available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Correlating clinical phenotype with genetic test results based on the described data fields.
• Studying sex-linked inheritance patterns of CACNA1F gene deletions based on the sex data.
• Analyzing the prevalence of specific clinical signs within a cohort of affected dogs based on the described phenotype data.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly linked to a specific genetic cause (CACNA1F gene deletion).
• Includes multiple data dimensions: clinical phenotype, sex, and genetic testing results.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 12.2 KB, indicating limited scope.
