Abca4 inhibition in a cone-rich rodent leads to Stargardt Disease type 1-like retinal degeneration
2023-09-06
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene ABCA4 coding for photoreceptor-specific A TP- b inding c assette subfamily A member 4 , are responsible for the most common form of inherited macular degeneration known as Stargardt Disease type 1 (STGD1). STGD1 typically declares early in life and leads to severe visual handicap. Abca4 gene deletion mouse models of STGD1 show increased accumulation of lipofuscin, a hallmark of the dis...
