Abstract excerpt
Stargardt disease (STGD1) segregates with mutations in the ABCA4 (ABCR) locus. However, mutations of the ABCA4 coding region detected by sequencing account for only 66-80% of disease chromosomes. We hypothesized a potential contribution of otherwise undetected genomic rearrangements of the ABCA4 region. To investigate this hypothesis, we performed genomic Southern analysis on samples from 96 STGD families in...
