Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) and autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB) are two kinds of bestrophinopathies which are caused by BEST1 mutations and characterized by accumulation of lipofuscin-like materials on the retinal pigment epithelium cell-photoreceptor interface. In the past two decades, research about the pathogenesis of bestrophinopathies was mainly focused on the anion channel...
