Mondo Description An autosomal recessive retinopathy in which patients have increased sensitivity to blue light; perception of blue light is mediated by what is normally the least populous cone photoreceptor subtype, the S (short wavelength, blue) cones. Characteristics include visual loss, with night blindness occurring from early in life, varying degrees of L (long, red)- and M (middle, green)-cone vision, and retinal degeneration.
Uniprot Description Autosomal recessive retinopathy in which patients have increased sensitivity to blue light; perception of blue light is mediated by what is normally the least populous cone photoreceptor subtype, the S (short wavelength, blue) cones. ESCS is also associated with visual loss, with night blindness occurring from early in life, varying degrees of L (long, red)- and M (middle, green)-cone vision, and retinal degeneration.
Disease Ontology Description A retinal disease characterized by autosomal recessive inheritance of early onset night blindness, hypersensitivity to blue light, and in some cases a more general retinal degeneration that has_material_basis_in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the NR2E3 gene on chromosome 15q23.
