Case 1A 55-year-old male was examined for long-standing central visual impairment since age 18. Family history was not significant for ocular disease. His best-corrected visual acuity of 20/350 OD and 20/200 OS was consistent with measurements over the last 20 years. Spherical refractive error measured −3.5 OD and −2.0 OS. Anterior segment examination was unremarkable and applanation tonometry measured 17 mmHg OD and 14 mmHg OS. Posterior segment examination and autofluorescence imaging were significant for sharply demarcated central and peripapillary zones of atrophy and the absence of fleck lesions (Figure 1, A–D). Humphrey visual fields demonstrated bilateral central scotomas with eccentric fixation at the inferior border. ERG examination was subnormal and similar to results obtained 22 years ago.Open in a separate windowFig. 1Case 1. STGD with peripapillary atrophy and mutations P1380L and IVS40 + 5G>A.

GenotypingMethod:
In the present study, we recruited a 14-year-old female patient diagnosed with ABCA4-RD. Biallelic variants were found in this patient, including the nonsense variant c.1222C>T p.(Arg408Ter) detected by Sanger sequencing and the deep intronic variant c.2919-884G>T p.[Phe973LeufsTer3,=] identified by next-generation sequencing.
We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from the patient’s peripheral venous blood and introduced three episomal plasmids containing transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, LIN28, c-MYC, KLF4, and SV40LT into PBMCs. The reprogramming iPSC line, named BIOi003-A, showed stabilized morphology (Fig. 1A) and a normal karyotype in culture (Fig. 1B). Then, the endogenous expression of two pluripotent biomarkers, POU5F1 and NANOG, was detected (Table 2). The expression levels were compared with human embryonic stem cell line H1(hESC-H1) and mesenchymal stem cell line P3 (MSC-P3) by qRT-PCR (Fig. 1C). Surface markers SSEA4 and TRA-1–81 were analyzed by flow cytometry (Fig. 1D). the ABCA4 compound heterozygous variants c.(1222C>T;2919-884G>T) p.[Arg408Ter;Phe973LeufsTer3,=] were verified by Sanger sequencing (Fig. 1E). Furthermore, the teratoma assay exhibited the differentiation capacity of this iPSC line in vivo (Fig. 1F). Short tandem repeats (STR) analysis exhibited that the PBMCs and the iPSC line came from the same patient. PCR proved negative for mycoplasma contamination

Gross disruption of the outer retinal layers at the macula in all cases; in two (cases 2 and 4), the presumed external limiting membrane (ELM) peak was broadened with the inner segment ellipsoid band (ISe) missing. Subtle white-yellowish fine dots at the macula and numerous white-yellowish flecks extending anterior to the arcade are shown in the colour fundus photograph of case 1. Autofluorescence (AF) imaging of case 1 detected well-defined dots with high signal at the central macula surrounded by a ring of increased signal and numerous foci with high or low signal extending to the peripheral retina. Case 2 also had subtle white-yellowish fine dots at the central macula and numerous white-yellowish flecks extending anterior to the arcade, both associated with high signal on AF imaging. In addition, case 3 had white-yellowish fine dots at the macula and numerous white-yellowish flecks extending to the periphery, both of which had high or low signal on AF imaging. Case 4 showed subtle fine macular dots mainly in a para-foveal location, which are well-defined on AF imaging.
CaseNotHPOs: HP:0007401, HP:0000505
CaseNotPhenotypeFreeText: Most cases with STGD have central macular atrophy with numerous more peripheral flecks (Michaelides et al. 2003). Given their relatively good visual acuity, it is likely that the central macular dots observed in our cases may be an early sign of macular dysfunction before the development of macular atrophy. Similar fine macular dots or a ‘mottled macula’ have also been reported in other inherited retinal diseases
CasePreviousTesting: The age of disease onset in cases 1–4, defined as either the age at which visual loss was first noted by the subject or in the asymptomatic subjects when abnormal retinal appearance was first detected, was 5, 7, 8, and 6 years old, respectively.
GenotypingMethod: After informed consent was obtained, blood samples were taken from probands of 2/3 families for ABCA4 screening. A full medical history was obtained, and a full ophthalmologic examination was performed in all cases. Mutation screening of ABCA4 was performed in two probands of the three families, and two likely disease-causing variants were identified in each case; c.768G > T, p.V256V (a previously reported splicing-altering synonymous variant) and c.4363T > C, p.C1455R (a missense variant) in case 1, and c.1906C > T, p.Q636* (a non-sense variant) and c.5461-10 T > C (a disease-associated intronic variant with uncertain effect) in case 3. A blood sample was not available in one proband (case 4).

AdditionalInfo: Some symptoms/diagnoses are consistent with Stargardt’s Disease 3, however the probands in the study were younger in age, so many of the symptoms hadn’t progressed much. Also, all of the cases had decent visual acuity, which contradicts a symptom of Stargardt’s Disease 3.
both the P and PV ABCA4 variants exhibited a dramatically reduced basal ATPase activity (∼30% of WT ABCA4), which did not increase upon the addition of all-trans-retinal. Thus, ABCA4 variants carrying the P mutation were functionally impaired.
ATPase activity in HEK293 cells showed severely reduced basal ATPase activity, ∼30% of WT ABCA4, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3_Supporting; PMIDs).
Amounts of A2E in the eyes of Abca4PV/PV, Abca4−/− and WT mice at the ages of 1, 3, 6, 12 and 15 months were quantified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Fig. 9B). Mice were raised under a regular 12-h light (∼10 lux)/12-h dark cycle. Age-dependent A2E accumulation was noted in all genotypes, with Abca4PV/PV and Abca4−/− mice accumulating about 5-fold more A2E than WT mice. No statistically significant differences in A2E accumulation were found between Abca4PV/PV and Abca4−/− animals.
Autofluorescence and A2E production was measured in transgenic mice and showed loss of function of ABCA4 protein indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PS3; PMIDs).

Analysis of the rates of hydrolysis of ATP and CTP in the mutant protein demonstrated that they were significantly reduced (Fig. 3). The results presented in Fig. 3A indicated that the ATPase function of G863A mutant protein was reduced ∼3-fold as compared with NBD1wt, indicating ∼70% of inhibition of the ATPase activity. TheVmax (ATPase) for G863A mutant was 128 pmol/min/mg and that of the wild-type NBD1 was 584 pmol/min/mg (Table II). A time-course analysis of ATP hydrolysis using 2.5 μg of protein (Fig. 3C) suggested the actual rates of ATP hydrolysis were attenuated 3-fold as a consequence of the mutation. We have earlier reported that the NBD1wt has significantly higher CTPase than ATPase activity (1717.Biswas, E.E.Biochemistry. 2001; 40:8181-8187CrossrefScopus (25)PubMedGoogle Scholar). However, in the mutant G863A protein the CTPase activity was reduced (Fig.3B). In this case, the CTP hydrolysis of G863A was reduced to ∼30% of the activity of NDB1wt. The Vmaxfor G863A mutant was 104 pmol/min/mg and that of the wild-type NBD1 was 376 pmol/min/mg (Table II).

Mutation scanning and direct DNA sequencing of all 50 exons of ABCR were completed for 150 families segregating recessive Stargardt disease (STGD1). ABCR variations were identified in 173 (57%) disease chromosomes, the majority of which represent missense amino acid substitutions. These ABCR variants were not found in 220 unaffected control individuals (440 chromosomes) but do cosegregate with the disease in these families with STGD1, and many occur in conserved functional domains. Missense amino acid substitutions located in the amino terminal one-third of the protein appear to be associated with earlier onset of the disease and may represent misfolding alleles. The two most common mutant alleles, G1961E and A1038V, each identified in 16 of 173 disease chromosomes, composed 18.5% of mutations identified. G1961E has been associated previously, at a statistically significant level in the heterozygous state, with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Clinical evaluation of these 150 families with STGD1 revealed a high frequency of AMD in first- and second-degree relatives. These findings support the hypothesis that compound heterozygous ABCR mutations are responsible for STGD1 and that some heterozygous ABCR mutations may enhance susceptibility to AMD.

Screening of reported pathogenic variants in ABCA4 for Stargardt (STGD) The disease prevalence of STGD is estimated as 1 in 10000 individuals4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmita
During shmita, the land is left to lie fallow and all agricultural activity, including plowing, planting, pruning and harvesting, is forbidden by halakha (Jewish law).
The sabbath year (shmita; Hebrew: שמיטה, literally "release"), also called the sabbatical year or shǝvi'it (שביעית, literally "seventh"), or "Sabbath of The Land", is the seventh year of the seven-year agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah in the Land of Israel and is observed in Judaism.
The phrase "Rule 34" was coined from an August 13, 2003 webcomic captioned, "Rule #34 There is porn of it. No exceptions." The comic was drawn by TangoStari (Peter Morley-Souter) to depict his shock at seeing Calvin and Hobbes parody porn.[1][2]
With the exception of the blues, the rhythm changes progression is probably the mostimportant chord progression in jazz. The term “rhythm changes” refers to a 32-bar AABAform based on the harmonic structure of “I Got Rhythm” by George and Ira Gershwin.The song appeared in the Aarons and Freedley production Girl Crazy (1930) andoriginally featured a 34-bar AABA form with a two-bar extension in the last A section.The two-bar extension was eventually cut and the chord changes of the last A sectionreplicated those from the second A. A newly composed line based on the rhythm changesprogression is known as a contrafact. The enormous popularity of rhythm changes hasbeen well documented by an ever-increasing number of composed contrafacts andrecordings

Results for individual PALB2 variants were normalized relative to WT-PALB2 and the p.Tyr551ter (p.Y551X) truncating variant on a 1:5 scale with the fold change in GFP-positive cells for WT set at 5.0 and fold change GFP-positive cells for p.Y551X set at 1.0. The p.L24S (c.71T>C), p.L35P (c.104T>C), p.I944N (c.2831T>A), and p.L1070P (c.3209T>C) variants and all protein-truncating frame-shift and deletion variants tested were deficient in HDR activity, with normalized fold change <2.0 (approximately 40% activity) (Fig. 1a).

In order to protect local interests, and to prevent sectional jealousies, it was found requisite that the three great divisions into which British North America is separated, should be represented in the Upper House on the principle of equality. There are three great sections, having different interests, in this proposed Confederation.

To the Upper House is to be confided the protection of sectional interests ; therefore is it that the three great divisions are there equally represented, for the purpose of defending such interests against the combinations of majorities in the Assembly.

But the very essence of our compact is that the union shall be federal and not legislative. Our Lower Canada friends have agreed to give us representation by population in the Lower House, on the express condition that they shall have equality in the Upper House. On no other condition could we have advanced a step ; and, for my part, I am quite willing they should have it. In maintaining the existing sectional boundaries and handing over the control of local matters to local bodies, we recognize, to a certain extent, a diversity of interests ; and it was quite natural that the protection for those interests, by equality in the Upper Chamber, should be demanded by the less numerous provinces.

Gentlemen, if the principle is good in one case, it is good in another ; let us make the Speaker elective. No, no, they said, that will not do ; that is republicanism.
§.34 of the Constitution Act, 1867.
The Speaker of the Legislative Council is also to be appointed by the Crown, this is another step backwards, and a little piece of patronage for the Government. We have heard in a speech lately delivered in Prince Edward Island or New Brunswick, I forget which, of the allurements offered to the delegates while here in the shape of prospective appointments as judges of the Court of Appeal, Speaker of the Legislative Council, and local governors
