Long-term follow-up of retinal function and structure in TRPM1-associated complete congenital stationary night blindness.
Conclusions: Further prospective study in larger samples is needed to establish whether there is progressive retinal degeneration in TRPM1-associated CSNB. The associated myopia was found to be mainly axial, which has not been described previously. The mechanism of myopia development in this condition remains incompletely understood; however, it may be related to altered retinal dopamine signaling and amacrine cell dysfunction.
