    1. Thirty-Three Truncated and 98 Amino Acid–Changing Variants in the ABCA4 Gene

      This variant was found on one allele of a Stargardt patient, but no additional details are provided about the patient or the other allele. A combination of single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and automated DNA sequencing was used to evaluate the entire exonic and flanking intron sequence of the ABCA4 gene

    1. In this study, we summarized the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of 129 Chinese patients with ABCA4-RD.

      paper not publicly available, but is said to contain this variant based on LOVD entry. requested from library.

      Update: Received paper from library. 1 proband in Figure 1 has this variant, but cannot access the supplementary info to see the individual phenotype information. Affected maternal aunt with homozygous c.4605_4606ins-non-segregation.

    1. STGD in 48 patients (55%) was explained by recessive ABCA4 mutations (supplemental table S2). Only 22 patients could be solved using previously known STGD causing mutations. However, we identified 35 novel mutations in ABCA4 contributing to the diagnosis of 25 STGD patients. This contained 10 novel mutations leading to amino acid substitutions already known to cause disease and mutations known to cause diseases other than STGD. In addition, we identified 13 novel nonsense mutations. The remaining 12 novel mutations are well justified, and novel mutations were either completely absent or extremely rare in controls.

    1. We identified 44 novel sequence changes (Table 3). Of these changes, 30 were potentially pathogenic and 14were classified as potentially neutral polymorphisms or changes of unknown significance.

      This variant is in table 3 as a "potentially neutral polymorphism or change of unknown significance" but it is unclear which patient this is associated with, what their phenotype is, what their genotype is

    1. Peripheral venous blood was obtained from 24 clinically diagnosed Korean STGD patients, followed by extraction of genomic DNAs. Using exome sequencing we investigated gene mutations for the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette, subfamily A, member 4 (ABCA4) elongation of very-long-chain fatty acids 4 (ELOVL4), and prominin 1 (PROM1), and confirmed gene mutations by the direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products.

      This variant was found in 92 of the 670 alleles in this cohort (Supplement 4). Supplement 5 has the individuals listed with their genotypes, but only mentions variants that were classified as VUS/LP/P, so it is unknown which individuals specifically had this variant or which other variants they also had.

    1. Supplementary data. bjophthalmol-2018-312064supp004.pdf

      This variant is found on pg 21 in proband 13047. Compound heterozygous for c.5882G>A p.Gly1961Glu. Said to have Stargardt based on the following criteria: "(1) patients (at least 6 years old) with at least two ABCA4 variants or one ABCA4 variant associated with a typical STGD1 phenotype and (2) presence of a well-defined atrophic lesion with/without flecks at the most recent visit of at least 300 µm in diameter (the total area of all lesions <12 mm2)." No additional details provided
