    1. Sixty-six individuals representing 54 families were studied (Supplementary Material, Table S1). All individuals were found to harbor two ABCA4 variants likely to cause the retinal disease (18,20–26). In 40 families (74%), independent segregation of the two alleles was demonstrated. The ages at the time of their first visit ranged from 9 to 74 years (mean = 35.9, median = 35.2 years); in the majority of individuals (36/66=55%), data were available from a second visit that occurred on average 8.7 years (range=2–20 years, median = 6.9 years) after the first visit.

      Case#: Patient #35, male, 35yo at report, 14yo at onset,

      DiseaseAssertion: STGD

      FamilyInfo: family 30, segregation was noted as "yes" but no other details provided

    1. Screening of reported pathogenic variants in ABCA4 for Stargardt (STGD) The disease prevalence of STGD is estimated as 1 in 10000 individuals4. It has been estimated that about 70% of STGD patients carry variants in ABCA45. Therefore, this represents the scenario of a recessive disease with a relatively homogeneous genetic cause. We screened 945 reported pathogenic variants in ABCA4 genes collected in HGMD. Among them, 11 variants are likely benign, as their population AF in is higher than 0.7% (1/20000‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√)<math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" id="M11"><mrow><mrow><mo>(</mo><mrow><msqrt><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>/</mo><mn>20000</mn></mrow></msqrt></mrow><mo>)</mo></mrow></mrow></math>, the cutoff based on STGD disease prevalence, therefore were excluded from further analysis. The remaining 934 variants were subjected to our test model. As a result, 26 variants with the AF in the range of 0.46% to 0.03% were identified as likely benign (Binomial test1, Bonferroni correction p-value ≤ 0.05/934 and test2 Bonferroni correction p-value > 0.05/934) (Figure 3A).

      This variant is reported in Table S6, but only location, predictions, frequencies, etc are reported for it, not cases.
