Stimulus intensityPropertyControl (n = 19)NYX mutation group (n = 11)CACNA1F mutation group ( n = 4)
A rod b-wave response to a dim stimulus (SF −4 log units) was detected in 3 of the 11 subjects with NYX gene mutations and 3 of the 4 subjects with CACNA1F mutations. A response to the SF −2.6 log units was present in 9 of the 11 subjects with NYX gene mutations and 3 of the 4 subjects with CACNA1F mutations (Fig 3A); the mean b-wave amplitude did not differ markedly between genotypes (Fig 4).
