X-linked congenital stationary night blindness is a disorder of the retina, which is a specialized tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and colour. People with this condition typically have difficulty seeing in low light (night blindness). They also have other vision problems, including increased sensitivity to light (photophobia), loss of sharpness (reduced visual acuity), severe nearsightedness (high myopia), involuntary movements of the eyes (nystagmus), and eyes that do not look in the same direction (strabismus). Colour vision is typically not affected in people with X-linked congenital stationary night blindness.
Description
X-linked congenital stationary night blindness is a disorder of the retina, which is a specialized tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and colour. People with this condition typically have difficulty seeing in low light (night blindness). They also have other vision problems, including increased sensitivity to light (photophobia), loss of sharpness (reduced visual acuity), severe nearsightedness (high myopia), involuntary movements of the eyes (nystagmus), and eyes that do not look in the same direction (strabismus). Colour vision is typically not affected in people with X-linked congenital stationary night blindness.
The vision problems associated with X-linked congenital stationary night blindness are congenital, which means they are present from birth. The vision problems also tend to remain stable (stationary) over time.
Researchers have identified two major types of X-linked congenital stationary night blindness: the complete form and the incomplete form. The types have very similar signs and symptoms. However, everyone with the complete form has night blindness, while not all people with the incomplete form have night blindness. The types are distinguished by their genetic causes and by the results of a test called an electroretinogram, which measures the function of the retina.

For a child to be affected, both parents need to carry the faulty gene. If both parents are carriers of the faulty gene, the chance of each one of their children being affected by the glycogen storage disorder is 1 in 4.
