Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate, in a pool of affected families, the mutation spectrum in Stargardt patients from Spain, using the ABCR400 microarray that contains described sequence variants in the gene encoding for the photoreceptor specific ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCA4). METHODS: We analyzed 76 Spanish patients with STGD1 for a population-specific survey on the sequence variations in the ABCA4 gene, using the...
