Abstract excerpt
Variants in the ABCA4 gene are a fundamental cause of several inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs), including Stargardt macular dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa, and cone-rod dystrophy. These three ABCA4-driven diseases are estimated to cause blindness in 1.4 million people worldwide. As a result, genetic testing of ABCA4 is increasingly common in clinical settings. Of the 4111 identified variants in ABCA4, 1668...
