Invitae Congenital Stationary Night Blindness Panel
Use
The Invitae Congenital Stationary Night Blindness Panel analyzes genes associated with congenital stationary night blindness, characterized by impaired night vision, delayed adaptation to dark environments, photophobia, and poor visual acuity. The panel helps confirm a CSNB diagnosis and guide treatment decisions. Genetic testing aids in recurrence-risk assessment and genetic counseling. It is useful for both diagnosis and management of the condition as well as informing family members about potential risks.
