32 The 2 sequence changes were found in 3.4% of the AMD patients and in approximately 0.95% of the control subjects, and it was concluded that the risk of AMD is elevated approximately 3-fold in D2177N carriers and approximately 5-fold in G1961E carriers.14 Other groups, however, could not find a significant difference in the prevalence of heterozygous ABCA4 mutations in exudative and dry AMD patients and control groups, although the numbers of individuals analyzed in these studies were smaller.15-20 In the proposed genotype-phenotype model for ABCA4 there is an inverse relationship between the presumed residual ABCA4 function and the severity of the retinal dystrophy.2,6,21 Because different combinations of ABCA4 mutations lead to different phenotypes, this model implicitly predicts the occurrence of families harboring different types of ABCA4-associated retinal disorders.2,3,6,7 In this study, we present the clinical and genetic findings in 3 families with multiple ABCA4-associated retinal disorders.

170 The frequency of potentially disease-associated variants has been consistently estimated to be no higher than 1% in a nonpatient population.11,12,16,20 Because of uncertainty about the true effect size, we have assumed three plausible relative risk values for an ABCA4 variant: 5, estimated for G1961E;16 3, estimated for D2177N;16 and 1.5, the lower confidence limit for G1961E.16 Power calculations using commercial software (nQuery-Advisor; Statistical Solutions, Saugus, MA) and DSTPLAN (http://odin.

183 However, it is not clear that the two sequence variants proposed to be disease-associated in humans (G1961E, D2177N) are equivalent to a null mutation, even though they were shown to have some effect on the function of the ABCA4 protein.46 An animal model can be an invaluable tool for assessing the potential significance of sequence variation in a candidate gene; however, caution is necessary in inferring functional consequences in the context of complex human disease from data generated on mice.

14 We reported that 16% of an initial cadre of patients with AMD (26/167) had heterozygous ABCR variants that resulted in non-conservative amino acid substitutions, frameshifts, or splice-site changes that were found in less than 1% of a general population control cohort.14 Two variants, G1961E and D2177N, accounted for half of the reported disease-associated variants, whereas the others were rare variants found in one or two affected individuals.14 Two groups subsequently reported much lower rates of potential disease-associated ABCR variants in their cohorts of patients with AMD,15-17 but their selected populations, clinical criteria, and mutation detection rates differed substantially from the initial study.18 More recently, however, a large multicenter international consortium confirmed that G1961E and D2177N variants of ABCR are indeed found in patients with AMD at a significantly higher frequency relative to control subjects.19 The two variants were found in 3.4% of patients with AMD (40/1189) versus 0.95% of control subjects (12/ 1258; P Ͻ 0.0001).19 We postulate that relatives of patients with Stargardt disease and of patients with AMD who are heterozygous carriers of the same variant ABCR alleles as the family proband may have an increased risk of development of AMD under some circumstances.

115 Our study of the D2177N and G1961E mutations in age-matched ophthalmoscopically examined control subjects confirms that an ABCR variant does not by itself confer an AMD phenotype in all cases, but may increase susceptibility to the complex trait when large populations are examined.19 The fact that many siblings have AMD without the same ABCR variant as the family proband is not unexpected, especially because there are likely to be other inherited and environmental risk factors that have not yet been identified that may act alone or in concert with ABCR alleles to enhance susceptibility to AMD. Login to comment
129 This is a recurring problem facing investigators studying other complex adult-onset multifactorial diseases, such as breast cancer and prostate cancer.46,47 Statistical power analysis indicates that we would need 144 siblings to achieve an 80% power of detecting a statistically significant elevated risk at P ϭ 0.05 if the study population prevalence of AMD is assumed to be 10% and the elevated risk of AMD conferred by any AMD-associated ABCR variant is comparable to the approximately threefold elevation in AMD risk found for the G1961E and D2177N ABCR variants in the International ABCR Consortium Study.19 Although there is mounting evidence that heterozygous variants in ABCR contribute to AMD susceptibility, we should not expect consistent concordance of variant alleles with AMD phenotype, because it is a complex trait influenced by a multitude of other hereditary and environmental risk factors.

1 Secondary objectives were to investigate differences in frequency of the G1961E allele in selected ethnic groups as well as to examine the segregation of both G1961E and D2177N alleles in 5 multiplex families with AMD. Login to comment
7 Results: There was no significant difference (PϾ.1) in the frequency of the G1961E and D2177N alleles in patients with AMD (2.2%) vs controls (1.0%). Login to comment

24 (1) The primary purpose was to try to clarify the role of ABCA4 in AMD by screening a large cohort of patients with AMD and ethnically matched controls for the presence of the 2 sequence variations (G1961E and D2177N) that were most highly associated with AMD in the study by Allikmets et al.7 (2) A secondary purpose was to investigate the variation in allele frequency of G1961E among selected ethnic groups.

26 RESULTS The distributions of G1961E and D2177N sequence variations in the various AMD and control populations are summarized in Table 1. Login to comment
28 Five instances of the G1961E variation and 7 instances of the D2177N change were observed among the patients with AMD, while 3 instances of G1961E and 4 of D2177N were observed among the controls. Login to comment
30 A Fisher exact test revealed the differences in allele frequency between these groups to be insignificant whether the alleles were considered together or separately (PϾ.10 in all cases) even without correction for multiple measurements.27 Collectively, the G1961E and D2177N sequence changes were found in 2.2% of the 544 patients with AMD in this study, ranging from 0.99% in patients from the United States to 5.1% in patients from Switzerland.

133 Therefore, in this study, we focused on the 2 sequence variations (G1961E and D2177N) that were most plausibly associated with AMD in the study by Allikmets et al.7 In that study, Allikmets and colleagues found evidence that one or the other of those 2 sequence variations were found in approximately 8% of patients with AMD (one-half of the total ABCA4 association they observed). Login to comment
134 Although these 2 sequence variations were statistically associated with AMD when considered by themselves,7 there was no statistical association with AMD if all of the observed missense variations were included in the analysis, or alternatively, if all of the various subgroup analyses were subjected to a statistical correction for multiple measurements.16 In this study, we failed to find any statistically significant association between AMD and the presence of the G1961E and D2177N ABCA4 sequence variations.

150 The sample size of this study was also large enough to result in a 95% power (␣=.05) to detect such a 3-fold difference if the frequency in the AMD cohort was as large as had been previously suggested (ie, 7.8% vs 2.6%).7 An interesting observation in the study by Allikmets and coauthors7 was that the G1961E and D2177N sequence variations were more commonly found in patients who had not experienced CNV.

Login to comment
4 Both G1961E (OR = 3.22, 95% CI: 1.74-5.95) and D2177N (OR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.41-3.93) variations showed significant associations with increased risk of AMD. Login to comment
5 In addition, a more significant relationship in the D2177N mutation with increased risk for AMD was found in Americans (OR = 4.31, 95% CI: 1.90-9.73), while no association was demonstrated in Europeans. Login to comment
7 Conclusions: Significant evidence was found for a relationship between the G1961E and D2177N variants in ABCA4 with increased susceptibility to AMD, specifically for Americans. Login to comment
20 Two common sequence variants in ABCA4, G1961E (c.5882G N A) and D2177N (c.6529G N A) accounted for over half of the reported disease-associated variants; many investigators have assessed the role of ABCA4 in AMD through these two mutations (Allikmets et al., 1997; Allikmets, 2000; Souied et al., 2000). Login to comment
29 We performed a meta-analysis based on published data to clarify the contributions of G1961E and D2177N sequence variants towards the risk of AMD for different populations. Login to comment
38 First, an initial review of the identified abstracts and titles in all of the relevant articles was conducted to exclude those studies that did not address the association between G1961E or D2177N mutations and the risk of AMD. Login to comment
53 Statistical methods An odds ratio (OR) with a corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the strength of the association between each variant and susceptibility of AMD under an allelic model (G1961E: c.5882G N A and D2177N: c.6529G N A). Login to comment
86 D2177N variation and AMD risk Similar to the G1961E variant, all of the included studies reported data for the frequency of the D2177N variation in cases and controls. Login to comment
89 All of the D2177N variant occurrences were in the heterozygous state. Login to comment
91 Overall, the frequency of the risk factor A allele was higher in AMD patients than in the controls (1.66% vs. 0.58%), and the fixed effects pooled OR (A vs. T: OR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.41-3.93; Fig. 3) estimated an elevated risk of AMD in carriers of the D2177N variant. Login to comment
93 The frequency of the A allele for D2177N in control subjects was noted to be significantly higher in Europeans compared with Americans (1.01% vs. 0.32%, P = 0.037). Login to comment
98 Discussion In the current study, we evaluated the effects of the G1961E and D2177N variants in ABCA4 on AMD susceptibility based on data from 24 case-control studies. Login to comment
100 Furthermore, the subgroup analyses indicated that the significant relationship between the D2177N variant and AMD was only detected in Americans, but not in Europeans. Login to comment
107 Two common coding polymorphisms located in ABCA4, G1961E and D2177N have been considered to be related to the risk for AMD. Login to comment
113 Sun et al. suggested that the G1961E protein and the D2177N protein could significantly decrease ATPase activity by retinal compared with the wild-type ABCA4 protein (Sun et al., 1999). Login to comment

122 In the present study, no significant relationship between the D2177N variant and AMD risk was found in Europeans, which differed significantly from Americans. Login to comment
124 The results of our study showed that the frequency of the A allele for D2177N in control subjects was significantly higher in Europeans compared to Americans, which also supported the hypothesis that Americans were more likely than Europeans to Table 2 Stratified analysis of the association between the G1961E and D2177N variations and AMD.

131 Inconsistencies in the characteristics of the populations studied might somewhat affect the findings for the D2177N variant and AMD risk. Login to comment
134 First, the relatively small sample sizes might reduce the statistical power to assess the association between G1961E and D2177N variations and the susceptibility to AMD. Login to comment
142 In conclusion, the present meta-analysis demonstrated that the variants of G1961E and D2177N in ABCA4 were significantly associated with increased risk of AMD, specifically for Americans. Login to comment
