Abstract excerpt
ABCA4, also called ABCR, is a retinal-specific member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family that functions in photoreceptor outer segments as a flipase of all-trans retinal. Homozygous and compound heterozygous ABCA4 mutations are associated with various autosomal recessive retinal dystrophies, whereas heterozygous ABCA4 mutations have been associated with dominant susceptibility to age-related macular...
