Full-field electroretinography (ERG) was conducted according to the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) standards. Genetic testing was performed using a targeted next-generation sequencing panel with familial segregation confirmed by Sanger sequencing. In silico prediction tools and protein structural modelling were used to evaluate the pathogenicity and functional impact of the\n                      <jats:italic>GNAT1<\/jats:italic>\n                      p.Gln200Arg variant respectively.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our proband, a 21-year-old transgender male, and his 62-year-old mother had a lifelong history of nyctalopia and visual acuity of 6\/6 OU. The mother exhibited a golden sheen, sectoral chorioretinal atrophy and bone spicules. In the proband FAF imaging revealed hypoAF inferiorly with an arc of hyperAF whilst his mother had regions of hypoAF associated with outer retinal atrophy. Full-field electroretinography in the proband showed a cone-isolated retina with normal light-adapted responses. The mother had  reduced and delayed light-adapted 30\u00a0Hz flicker. Both carried the\n                      <jats:italic>GNAT1<\/jats:italic>\n                      variant NM_000172.4:c.599A\u2009&gt;\u2009G (p.Gln200Arg).
