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. 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.

Variant:WDR19 variants:the novel deletion at c.1777 + 1 within the donor splicingsite (class 4) and the rare c.1430 G>T variant causing theamino-acid substitution p.(Arg477Leu) (class 3) in the putative protein. Additionally, a heterozygous c.1793A>G(class 3) variant in the CDH23 gene was found, though it was deemed as not contributive to the patient’s clinical phenotype.

The STGD patient from Family 12 is a compound heterozygous with p.Val931Met and a novel nonsense mutation at exon 33 (p.Glu1574X; Figure 1B). Disease onset for this patient was at age 43. Ophthalmic examination revealed moderate central retinal changes, decreased mfERG responses exclusively in the central 15 degrees, and decreased visual acuity.
