Congenital Stationary Night Blindness
A group of mostly non-progressive retinal conditions, including Oguchi disease, caused by changes in genes such as NYX, CACNA1F, TRPM1, GRM6, GPR179 and SAG, often with nystagmus or short-sightedness.
- ClinGen rates the link definitive
- 2 GenCC submitters rate it definitive or strong
What knowing changes
A genetic diagnosis explains the symptoms, helps distinguish the condition from progressive retinal diseases and informs family counselling.
How CABP4 is laid out
- Coding sequence
- Untranslated region
- Intron
- Direction of transcription
- Known disease-causing sites
- Stretches short reads find hard
Exons of the gene's MANE Select transcript (release v1.5), from NCBI and EMBL-EBI, on the GRCh38 reference genome.
Chromosome bands from UCSC's GRCh38 ideogram (2022-10-29).
Nearby genes from Ensembl release 116, on GRCh38.
Exons make up 4 kb of the gene's 6.4 kb; 828 of those bases code for the protein.
How a genome test reads CABP4
9
positions in CABP4 where ClinVar classes a change as pathogenic or likely pathogenic
None of them falls in a region short reads find hard.
A whole genome covers all 6.4 kb of CABP4, introns included, not only the 4 kb of exons.
