Gene: [0X^/NYS1] nystagmus 1, congenital; [NYS ]

SUM

Congenital nystagmus is an idiopathic disorder characterized by bilateral ocular oscillations usually manifest during infancy. Vision is typically decreased due to slippage of images across the fovea. As such, visual acuity correlates with nystagmus intensity, which is the amplitude and frequency of eye movements at a given position of gaze. X-linked, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive pedigrees have been described, see GEM:06p12/NYS2; GEM:00.0/NYS3."
