    Summary
    This gene encodes a member of the alpha-1 subunit family; a protein in the voltage-dependent calcium channel complex. Calcium channels mediate the influx of calcium ions into the cell upon membrane polarization and consist of a complex of alpha-1, alpha-2/delta, beta, and gamma subunits in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. The alpha-1 subunit has 24 transmembrane segments and forms the pore through which ions pass into the cell. There are multiple isoforms of each of the proteins in the complex, either encoded by different genes or the result of alternative splicing of transcripts. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause incomplete X-linked congential stationary night blindness type 2 (CSNB2). [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

    Congenital stationary night blindness, type 2A

    Summary from GeneReviews: X-Linked Congenital Stationary Night Blindness Go to GeneReviews

    Disease Characteristics
    X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is characterized by: non-progressive retinal findings of reduced visual acuity ranging from 20/30 to 20/200; defective dark adaptation; refractive error, most typically myopia ranging from low (-0.25 diopters [D] to -4.75 D) to high (>/=-10.00 D) but occasionally hyperopia; nystagmus; strabismus; normal color vision; and normal fundus examination. Two overlapping, yet distinct, phenotypes are recognized: Complete CSNB (CSNB1A), caused by mutations in NYX (45%). Incomplete CSNB (CSNB2A), caused by mutations in CACNA1F (55%).
    Diagnosis Testing
    Diagnosis is based on clinical findings, characteristic findings on electroretinography (ERG), family history, and molecular genetic testing of NYX and CACNA1F, the only two genes in which mutations are known to cause X-linked CSNB.
    Genetic Counseling
    X-linked CSNB is inherited in an X-linked manner. The father of an affected male will not have X-linked CSNB nor will he be a carrier of the disease-causing mutation. If the mother of the proband is a carrier, the chance of transmitting the disease-causing mutation in each pregnancy is 50%. Males who inherit the mutation will be affected; females who inherit the mutation will be carriers and will usually not be affected. Males with X-linked CSNB will pass the disease-causing mutation to all of their daughters and none of their sons. Carrier testing for at-risk relatives and prenatal testing for pregnancies at increased risk are possible for families in which the disease-causing mutation has been identified.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
