Congenital stationary night blindness

What it is

Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) refers to a non-progressive group of retinal disorders characterized by night or dim light vision disturbance or delayed dark adaptation, poor visual acuity (ranging from 20/30 to 20/200), myopia (ranging from low (-0.25 diopters [D] to -4.75 D) to high (≥-10.00 D)), nystagmus, strabismus, normal color vision and fundus abnormalities.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

Genes reported in subtypes

Orphanet records these genes on 3 more specific entries under this disorder, not on this entry itself:

A well-studied disease is usually split into subtypes, and the gene is curated on whichever one the evidence belongs to. Open a subtype to see which gene goes with it.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
