Evaluation of the ELOVL4 gene in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant STGD3-like macular dystrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Stargardt disease-3 (STGD3) is an autosomal dominant juvenile-onset macular dystrophy characterized by progressive decreasing visual acuity, bilateral atrophic changes in the macula and absence of characteristic dark choroids. We identified a STGD3-like macular dystrophy pedigree by clinical examination. To explore whether the STGD3-like phenotype in the kindred is linked to ELOVL4 gene or associated with any...
