PURPOSE: To determine the phenotypic variability in patients with compound heterozygous or homozygous ABCA4 mutations, and to correlate the phenotypes with the functional properties of the altered protein. METHODS: Sixteen patients from 13 families with signs of Stargardt macular dystrophy/fundus flavimaculatus and known mutations on both alleles of the ABCA4 gene (15 compound heterozygous, one homozygous) were...
