Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of ABCA4 mutation status on lipofuscin-related quantitative autofluorescence (qAF) in humans and on bisretinoid accumulation in mice. METHODS: Genotyped parents (n = 26; age 37-64 years) of patients with biallelic ABCA4-related retinopathy underwent in-depth retinal phenotyping including qAF imaging as a surrogate measure for RPE lipofuscin accumulation. In addition,...
