Trait
Mildly reduced visual acuity
Mild reduction of the ability to see. On the 6m visual acuity scale, mild reduction is defined as less than 6/12 but at least 6/18. On the 20ft visual acuity scale, mild reduction is defined as less than 20/40 but at least 20/70. On the decimal visual acuity scale, mild reduction is defined as less than 0.5 but at least 0.3.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Mildly reduced visual acuity is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| CFAP20cilia and flagella associated protein 20 | Always | In 1 condition |
| CLN3CLN3 lysosomal/endosomal transmembrane protein, battenin | Always | In 1 condition |
| FDXRferredoxin reductase | Always | In 1 condition |
| P3H2prolyl 3-hydroxylase 2 | Always | In 1 condition |
| RDH8retinol dehydrogenase 8 | Always | In 1 condition |
| TMEM216transmembrane protein 216 | Always | In 1 condition |
| AHRaryl hydrocarbon receptor | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| IDH3Gisocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD(+)) 3 non-catalytic subunit gamma | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| RPGRIP1RPGR interacting protein 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FRMD7FERM domain containing 7 | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
