Function

This gene encodes a member of the cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel protein family, which is required for normal vision and olfactory signal transduction. CNGA3 is expressed in cone photoreceptors and is necessary for color vision.[9] Missense mutations in this gene are associated with rod monochromacy and segregate in an autosomal recessive pattern.[9] Two alternatively-spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.[8]

Clinical relevance

Variants in this gene have been shown to cause achromatopsia[10] and colour blindness.
