PURPOSE: The 2 most common causative genes for achromatopsia (ACHM) are CNGA3 and CNGB3; other genes including GNAT2 account for only a small portion of ACHM cases. The cone mosaics in eyes with CNGA3 and CNGB3 variants are severely disrupted; the cone mosaics in patients with GNAT2-associated ACHM; however, have been reported to show a contiguous pattern in adaptive optics (AO) retinal images. The purpose of...
