This inherited disorder affects the light-sensitive cells of the retina responsible for perceiving light in low-light conditions. The main clinical manifestation of this disorder is the impairment of the ability to see in low light, thereby leading to night blindness. As the disease progresses, patients may experience changes in visual function up to the suppression of vision in daylight conditions, which is associated with the peculiarities of the functioning of the photoreceptors located in the light-sensitive area of the retina.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-flat ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue

of the disease and interesting historical facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Congenital stationary night blindness was first described in 1932 by the Japanese ophthalmologist H. Oguchi, who gave the disease its name. Interestingly, until the 20th century, cases of such disorders were perceived as the result of general diseases or nutritional deficiencies. At the end of the 20th century, advances were made in understanding the genetics of eye diseases, which made it possible to identify Oguchi as a separate nosological entity. In 1997, scientists established a link between this disease and mutations in a gene that is important for the normal function of photopigments during genetic research. Today, the disease is studied in the context of both genetic and clinical medicine, which makes it an important object for further research.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%AD%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Epidemiology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Congenital stationary night blindness occurs with a frequency of approximately 1 in 100,000 births. The disorder has a racial and geographic distribution, with higher incidence in certain ethnic groups such as the Japanese. Studies show that the disorder is more common in males than females, due to its X-linked nature. It is worth noting that in regions with high inbreeding, the incidence may be significantly higher. Due to the rarity of the disorder, many physicians may not detect it in its early stages, making it difficult to accurately estimate incidence and prevalence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%93%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C_%D0%BA_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%83_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8E\"><\/span>Genetic predisposition to this disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Congenital stationary night blindness is associated with mutations in the genes responsible for the synthesis of light-sensitive proteins that play a key role in the functioning of the rods and cones of the retina. The main gene associated with this disease is the RPGRIP1 (Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator-1) gene, located on the X chromosome. Mutations in this gene disrupt the process of transforming light into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the brain. According to a number of studies, such genetic defects can cause not only night blindness, but also more serious forms of retinal degeneration. It is important to note that female carriers may not have clinical manifestations, but they can pass the mutation on to their children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8B_%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F\"><\/span>Risk factors for the development of this disease<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The main risk factor for the development of congenital stationary night blindness is genetic predisposition.
