Abstract
In congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB), there is a defect in rod photoreceptor signal transmission. This disorder of night vision is non-progressive. The most common inheritance pattern is X-linked, though autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant patterns have been described (Fig. 13.1). There is genetic heterogeneity within these types.
