Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Classic congenital or infantile nystagmus presents as conjugate, horizontal oscillations of the eyes, in primary or eccentric gaze, often with a preferred head turn or tilt. Other associated features may include mildly decreased visual acuity, strabismus, astigmatism, and ...
Clinical Description OMIM Mellott et al. (1999) reported a large 4-generation pedigree segregating X-linked congenital nystagmus and deuteranomaly (green color vision defect; see 303800). Sixty-five family members were studied. Thirteen individuals had conjugate horizontal nystagmus with pendular and/or jerk waveforms. Several ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Tarpey et al. (2006) identified 22 novel mutations in the FRMD7 gene (300628) in 26 families with X-linked congenital nystagmus. Screening of 42 singleton cases of idiopathic congenital nystagmus (28 males, 14 females) yielded 3 mutations (7%). Tarpey ...
Population genetics OMIM Stayte et al. (1993) found nystagmus in 1 per 1,000 children in a cohort in England followed from birth through the age of 5 years.

In a review of the literature, He et al. (2008) concluded ...

Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of FRMD7-related infantile nystagmus (FIN) should be considered in an individual with the following findings [Thomas et al 2008]: ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Affected individuals usually develop nystagmus within the first six months of life; the mean age of onset is two months. Nystagmus can be gaze-dependent oscillations or time-dependent oscillations (periodic alternating nystagmus). ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Studies have shown extensive intra- and interfamilial variability in the phenotype [Self et al 2007, Shiels et al 2007, Thomas et al 2008]. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The diagnosis of FRMD7-related infantile nystagmus (FIN) can be challenging as numerous causes of infantile nystagmus can present with conjugate horizontal oscillations of the eyes and reduced visual acuity. ...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with FRMD7-related infantile nystagmus (FIN), the following are recommended:...
