achromatopsia 7

Achromatopsia 7 is a rare condition that affects the eyes, where the ability to see color is greatly reduced or absent. This condition is caused by a mutation in the ATF6 gene, which plays a key role in the normal function of these cells. People with this condition may experience difficulties in vision, particularly in bright light, and have reduced visual acuity. This condition is one type of achromatopsia and is specifically linked to changes in the ATF6 gene. The name achromatopsia 7 and its synonyms, such as ACHM7 and ATF6 achromatopsia, denote that the underlying cause is tied to this particular genetic mutation. Research and clinical observations continue to improve our understanding of how mutations in ATF6 impact vision.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Achromatopsia 7 is caused by a mutation in the ATF6 gene. This genetic change disrupts the normal function of the cells in the eyes that are responsible for processing color, leading to the characteristics of the condition. The condition is inherited and is one of several forms of achromatopsia that are linked to different genetic mutations.
