A review of the molecular genetics of congenital Idiopathic Nystagmus (CIN).

Abstract excerpt

Congenital Idiopathic Nystagmus (CIN) is genetically heterogeneous. Autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and X-linked patterns of inheritance have been reported. Linkage analysis has suggested the existence of at least three distinct loci for both autosomal dominant and X-linked forms, although only one disease gene has been identified (FRMD7, Xq26.2). The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying nystagmus are...
