Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cone dystrophy with supernormal rod response (CDSRR) is an autosomal recessive retinal disorder characterized by myopia, dyschromatopsia, nyctalopia, photophobia, and nystagmus. CDSRR is caused by mutations in KCNV2, the gene encoding for an electrically silent Kv subunit (Kvs) named Kv8.2. METHODS: A Chinese CDSRR family was recruited. Complete ophthalmology clinical examinations were performed to...
