ACHROMATOPSIA

Alternate names

ACHROMATOPSIA Is also known as total color blindness, rod monochromatism, rod monochromacy 2, rmch2, colorblindness, total, rod monochromacy, achm, complete or incomplete color blindness, pingelapese blindness, rod monochromatism 2

Description

Achromatopsia (ACHM) is a rare autosomal recessive retinal disorder characterized by color blindness, nystagmus, photophobia, and severely reduced visual acuity due to the absence or impairment of cone function.

Most common symptoms of ACHROMATOPSIA

  • Nystagmus
  • Visual impairment
  • Myopia
  • Blindness
  • Reduced visual acuity

ACHROMATOPSIA 7; ACHM7

Description

Achromatopsia (ACHM) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from lack of cone photoreceptor function. Affected individuals present from birth or early infancy with photophobia, nystagmus, severely reduced visual acuity, and color blindness (summary by Kohl et al., 2015).For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of achromatopsia, see ACHM2 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of ACHROMATOPSIA 7; ACHM7

  • Nystagmus
  • Blindness
  • Reduced visual acuity
  • Photophobia
  • Astigmatism

Alternate names

CONE ROD DYSTROPHY Is also known as human retinal gene 4, hrg4

Description

Cone rod dystrophies (CRDs) are inherited retinal dystrophies that belong to the group of pigmentary retinopathies.

Most common symptoms of CONE ROD DYSTROPHY

  • Visual impairment
  • Photophobia
  • Nyctalopia
  • Retinal degeneration
  • Abnormality of retinal pigmentation
