Abstract excerpt
Missense variants in ABCA4 constitute ~50% of causal variants in Stargardt disease (STGD1). Their pathogenicity is attributed to their direct effect on protein function, whilst their potential impact on pre-mRNA splicing disruption remains poorly understood. Interestingly, synonymous ABCA4 variants have previously been classified as 'severe' variants based on in silico analyses. Here, we systemically investigated...
