Recurrence risk calculations in autosomal recessive diseases are complicated when the effect of genetic variants and their population frequencies and penetrances are unknown. An example of this is Stargardt disease (STGD1), a frequent recessive retinal disease caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants in ABCA4. In this cross-sectional study, 1,619 ABCA4 variants from 5,579 individuals with STGD1 were collected and...
