Achromatopsia (ACHM) is the inability to see color.

Individuals with the congenital form of this disorder show complete absence of cone cell activity via electroretinography. There are at least four genetic causes of congenital ACHM, two of which are cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels (ACHM2/ACHM3), a third the cone photoreceptor transducin (GNAT2, ACHM4), and the last unknown.
