Brief summary
Oguchi’s disease is a rare form of congenital stationary night blindness with autosomal recessive inheritance. We want to investigate the presence of mutations in family members with newly diagnosed as Oguchi disease. Also complete ophthalmological examination will be evaluated.
Interventions
Oguchi’s disease is a rare form of CSNB with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by a typical clinical feature called the Mizuo-Nakamura phenomenon in which the golden yellow discoloration of the fundus disappears in the dark adapted condition and reappears shortly after exposure to light. We will investigate the presence of TRPM1 (Transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily m, member 1), GRM6 (glutamate receptor, metabotropic, 6), SAG (S-antigen- arrestin), and GRK1 (G-protein-dependent receptor kinase 1) mutations in the family members with Oguchi disease. one-off testing session lasting approximately 2 hours.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
The 12-year-old boy (Case 1), 14-year-old girl (Case 2), 16-year-old girl (Case 3), 19-year-old girl (Case 4), 41-year-old woman (Mother) (Case 5), and a 44-year-old man (Father) (Case 6) will be examined. The participants are all members of the same family. A 41-year-old woman (Mother) and a 44-year-old man (Father) had a consanguineous marriage with a 4th degree relative (paternal cousin). Cases 1-4 noticed night blindness initially 3-10 years previously. There were no history of problems with night vision in both father and mother.
Exclusion criteria
Anyone outside of the selected family is excluded from the study.
