Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To elucidate the functional effect of the ABCA4 variant c.5461-10T→C, one of the most frequent variants associated with Stargardt disease (STGD1). DESIGN: Case series. PARTICIPANTS: Seventeen persons with STGD1 carrying ABCA4 variants and 1 control participant. METHODS: Haplotype analysis of 4 homozygotes and 11 heterozygotes for c.5461-10T→C and sequence analysis of the ABCA4 gene for a homozygous...
