Abstract excerpt
Purpose: The retina-specific ABCA transporter, ABCA4, plays an essential role in translocating retinoids required by the visual cycle. ABCA4 genetic variants are known to cause a wide range of inherited retinal disorders, including Stargardt disease and cone-rod dystrophy. More than 1,400 ABCA4 missense variants have been identified; however, more than half of these remain variants of uncertain significance...
