    Abstract:
    Three cases in three successive generations of one family with autosomal dominant congenital stationary night blindness are presented. Case 1, the proband, and Case 3, his grandfather had the same electroretinographic responses: nonrecordable scotopic electroretinogram (ERG), normal but slightly diminished flicker ERG, and negative-shaped single bright-flash ERG. Their dark adaptation curves were monophasic with no rod segment. However, Case 2, the proband's father, showed different ERG findings; a moderately diminished scotopic ERG, a normal flicker ERG, and a biphasic dark adaptation curve with an elevated final rod threshold. The authors believe that these differences reflect variations in the expressivity of a single gene mutation with the lowest expressivity being seen in Case 2.
