Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the retina-specific ABC transporter (ABCR) gene are responsible for autosomal recessive Stargardt disease (arSTGD). Mutation detection efficiency in ABCR in arSTGD patients ranges between 30% and 66% in previously published studies, because of high allelic heterogeneity and technical limitations of the employed methods. Conditions were developed to screen the ABCR gene by double-gradient...
