    Summary

    Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is rare in Scandinavia. This study identified 17 CSNB patients in Denmark, suggesting at least three genetic variants and a higher prevalence than previously thought.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Clinical Genetics
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a rare inherited retinal disorder affecting night vision.
    • Previous reports of CSNB in Scandinavia are limited, with only a few families documented.
    • Understanding the genetic variants and prevalence of CSNB is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of CSNB in Denmark.
    • To identify potential genetic variants of CSNB within the Danish population.
    • To highlight the importance of electroretinography (ERG) and dark adaptation in diagnosing CSNB.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of patient files from the National Eye Clinic for Visually Impaired.
    • Clinical examination including electroretinography (ERG), dark adaptation, and funduscopy.
    • Analysis of family history and genetic data where available.

    Main Results:

    • Seventeen patients with CSNB were identified, including dominant, X-linked recessive, simplex, and autosomal recessive forms.
    • Clinical findings revealed characteristic alterations in ERG, dark adaptation, and optic discs.
    • The loss of oscillatory potentials in a carrier of CSNB was noted.
    • Provisional findings suggest at least three distinct genetic variants of CSNB in Denmark.

    Conclusions:

    • CSNB appears to be present in the Danish population with at least three genetic variants.
    • The actual prevalence of CSNB in Denmark is likely higher than initially estimated.
    • Comprehensive clinical evaluation, including ERG, is essential for diagnosing CSNB and its subtypes.
