**Progressive rod-cone degeneration** is a [protein](/source/Protein) in humans that is encoded by the *PRCD* [gene](/source/Gene). [5]

This gene is predominantly expressed in the [retina](/source/Retina), and [mutations](/source/Mutation) in this gene are the cause of [autosomal recessive](/source/Autosomal_recessive) retinal degeneration in both humans and dogs. [Alternatively spliced](/source/Alternatively_spliced) transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010].
