Consensus guidelines for nomenclature of companion animal inherited retinal disorders.
Abstract: Companion animals, namely dogs, cats, and horses, can be affected with many forms of hereditary retinal disease. The number of such diseases characterized in the last decade has increased substantially, and nomenclature is nonstandardized, heterogenous, and confusing. We provide in this viewpoint article consensus guidelines for naming of companion animal hereditary retinal diseases, either prospectively or retrospectively. These consensus guidelines have been developed with the purpose of standardizing nomenclature. We provide examples for the iterative nomenclature process and a comprehensive File S1 on proposed renaming of previously described diseases.

The research article focuses on providing standard naming guidelines for inherited retinal diseases in pets like dogs, cats, and horses, as the increasing number of these diseases and their inconsistent and confusing naming practice calls for a standardized nomenclature.
Non-Standard Nomenclature Issues
- The research is premised on the proliferating occurrences of hereditary retinal diseases among companion animals such as dogs, cats, and horses.
- It outlines the substantial increase in such diseases over the last decade, and the difficulties encountered as a result of the nonstandard, heterogeneous, and confusing nomenclature currently in use.
Consensus Guidelines Objective
- The paper establishes consensus guidelines for the nomenclature of these diseases, either for future references or for renaming those which have already been described.
- It emphasizes how these guidelines aim to Standardize the nomenclature process, providing clarity and consistency.
- By doing this, it is easier for practitioners and researchers to communicate about the diseases and their progression effectively.
Nomenclature Process and Renaming Propositions
- The researchers give examples of how this nomenclature process can be implemented in an iterative manner.
- They have a detailed ‘File S1’ dedicated to proposed renamings of previously documented diseases in accordance to the newly established guidelines.
- These guidelines offer potential for an organized, easy-to-understand, and standardized naming system for hereditary retinal diseases, reducing the confusion that marked the previous nomenclature system.
