Abstract excerpt
X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNBX) is a non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by decreased visual acuity and loss of night vision. CSNBX is clinically heterogeneous with respect to the involvement of retinal rods and/or cones in the disease. In this study, we localize a new locus for CSNBX to Xp21.1, thus providing evidence that CSNBX is also genetically heterogeneous. A clear...
