The Role of FRMD7 in Idiopathic Infantile Nystagmus by Rachel J. Watkins, Mervyn G. Thomas, Chris J. Talbot, Irene Gottlob, Sue Shackleton

“…Idiopathic infantile nystagmus (IIN) is an inherited disorder in which the nystagmus arises independently of any other symptoms, leading to the speculation that the disorder represents a primary defect in the area of the brain responsible for ocular motor control. The inheritance patterns are heterogeneous, however the most common form is X-linked. …”
