43 By contrast, all mutations identified in FFM patients were missense mutations involving uncharged amino acids and none of them (except the A1038V mutation) were detected in STGD. Login to comment
44 Interestingly, the A1038V mutation was found in compound heterozygotes (one STGD, family CHE and one FFM, family VIL), the second mutation being another missense mutation in the FFM family (L541P) but a frameshift mutation in STGD (Table 1). Login to comment

88 Previous reports by Cella et al10 and by Gomes et al11 describe cases of ABCA4 mutations involving L541P/ A1038V and G1961E. Login to comment
90 Cella et al10 proposed that the G1961E allele in either homozygosity or heterozygosity is associated with anatomical and functional pathologies limited to the parafoveal region; however, this mutation was present as a heterozygous mutation in only 2 of 5 cases tested (Cases 4 and 5) and L541P/A1038V was not present.

71 The heterozygous change c.3113C>T (p.A1038V) was found in five patients together with c.1622T>C (p.L541P) and in another two patients together with c.3261A>C (p.E1087D, patient L-099-GA) and c.3752delA (p.E1251fs, patient H-144-GA), respectively. Login to comment

89 directly the cis configuration of the c.3113C>T / c.1622T>C alleles in one case by segregation analysis (patient M07-0338- 11,085), these two variants have been shown repeatedly in previous studies to occur as a frequent complex allele on a single chromosome.10,36 Trans-configuration was confirmed for heterozygous changes c.3113C>T (p.A1038V) / c.3261A>C (p.E1087D) in patient L-099-GA.

90 Due to lack of DNA from further family members, segregation of variants c.3113C>T (p.A1038V) / c.3752delA (p.Glu1251fs) and c.1804C>T (p.R602W) / c.1928T>G (p.V643G) could not be assessed further (Supplementary Table S5). Login to comment
120 In this context, it may be of interest that the complex allele L541P/ A1038V was found in 5/20 GPS[+] alleles. Login to comment
121 If one further includes the single A1038V variant, which was found twice in GPS[+], there is a striking overabundance of A1038V alleles in GPS[+] (35% of all alleles identified). Login to comment
122 Although the GPS[+] patient group is small in number and, therefore, prone to random findings, our data may still point to the possibility that only a certain type of variant, such as A1038V, could be associated with the GPS[+] phenotype. Login to comment

101 We have previously shown that the mutation spectrum of recessive diseases in the Danish population can be quite different from populations in central Europe.21,22 A similar diverse ABCA4 mutation spectrum has been described for other European populations.14,16 Patient D013 was by array analysis solely found to be heterozygous for the common p.P541L mutation, which usually is allelic to p.A1038V. Login to comment
102 In fact p.[P541L+A1038V] was the third most common allele in our initial array analysis and is one of the most prevalent European mutations.23 HRM identified p.A1038V as the second mutation in D013, thus this mutation was missed by array analysis, and the patient is most likely "only" a carrier for the p.[P541L+A1038V].

0 Familial discordance in Stargardt disease Tomas R. Burke,1,4 Stephen H. Tsang,1,2 Jana Zernant,1 R. Theodore Smith,1,3 Rando Allikmets1,2 1Department of Ophthalmology, Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute, Columbia University, New York, NY; 2Department of Pathology and Cell Biology, Edward S. Harkness Eye Institute, Columbia University, New York, NY; 3Department of Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY; 4The Oxford Deanery, Prince Charles Eye Unit, King Edward VII Hospital, Windsor, United Kingdom Purpose: To report genetic and phenotypic discordance across two generations of a family with autosomal recessive Stargardt disease (STGD1) and to compare pathogenicities of the G1961E and A1038V alleles of the ATP-binding cassette transporter, subfamily A, member 4 (ABCA4) gene. Methods: Five members of a family with STGD1 (patients 1-4, affected; patient 5, carrier) were included. Clinical assessment was performed together with fundus autofluorescence and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography. Patients were stratified based on the results of electroretinogram testing.

5 Patient 1 had an age of onset 28 years younger than patient 2, whose delayed onset can be explained by relative foveal sparing, while patient 4 had an age of onset 44 years younger than patient 2. Conclusions: The G1961E mutation, which has been considered "mild," yields a more severe phenotype in this family than the A1038V mutation, which has been considered "severe." Login to comment
20 The W663X and A1038V mutations were detected in the ABCA4 gene in both patients 1 and 2, the latter having an onset of symptoms at 57 years of age i.e., 28 years later than her brother. Login to comment
28 DISCUSSION Both patients 1 and 2 were compound heterozygous for the W663X and A1038V mutations in the ABCA4 gene. Login to comment
29 W663X was previously reported as a disease-causing mutation [9]; it likely results in a completely dysfunctional protein due to the stop codon in the first 1/4 of the gene. A1038V, a missense mutation, is usually reported as a component of the complex allele L541P/A1038V, one of the most commonly detected mutations in the ABCA4 gene. A1038V is also known to be pathogenic without L541P as it has a deleterious effect on ATPase by ABCA4 in vitro [10,11]. Login to comment
30 While the complex allele gives rise to an ABCA4 protein which mislocalizes within the photoreceptor with a consequent reduction in protein function, the protein associated with A1038V alone does not demonstrate mislocalization [12]. Login to comment
32 The G1961E missense mutation, which has a deleterious effect on ABCA4`s ATPase activity, is the most common mutation detected in the ABCA4 gene and has been reported to confer a milder phenotype [11,16,17]. Login to comment
33 All affected patients in this family carried the W663X mutation, and although G1961E is considered a "mild" mutation, both patients with the G1961E mutation had earlier ages of onset than those with A1038V, which is considered "severe." Login to comment
34 A report by Cideciyan et al. describing age of disease onset in terms of "age of retina-wide disease initiation" (ADI) suggested that the G1961E mutation results in a much later ADI than the complex allele L541P/A1038V [18]. Login to comment

Harkness Eye Institute, Columbia University, New York, NY; 3Department of Biomedical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY; 4The Oxford Deanery, Prince Charles Eye Unit, King Edward VII Hospital, Windsor, United Kingdom Purpose: To report genetic and phenotypic discordance across two generations of a family with autosomal recessive Stargardt disease (STGD1) and to compare pathogenicities of the G1961E and A1038V alleles of the ATP-binding cassette transporter, subfamily A, member 4 (ABCA4) gene. Methods: Five members of a family with STGD1 (patients 1-4, affected; patient 5, carrier) were included. Clinical assessment was performed together with fundus autofluorescence and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography. Patients were stratified based on the results of electroretinogram testing.

85 Therefore, it can be speculated that its clinical expression depends on the mutation severity on the fellow allele, as suggested by earlier genotype/ phenotype studies.17,21 Still, although the A1038V mutation is commonly reported in the literature,9,13,27 in our series, it was detected in only two patients (1.4% of the patients, 0.7% of the alleles) within the L541P-A1038V complex allele.

38 Certain mutant alleles such as G863A, A1038V, and G1961E cause Stargardt`s disease and appear to be more common and may have altered frequencies in different populations, presumably because of founder effect (23, 24). Login to comment

94 However, when coupled with a deleterious variant such as the 5917delG mutation, it seems to result in a more severe phenotype.21 Patients with the L541P/A1038V complex allele were classified as phenotype II in 70% (7/10) of cases, the rest (3/10) as belonging to the phenotype III group (Table 1).

97 In patients compound heterozygous for the L541P/ A1038V and G863A alleles (patients 11, 21, 32), a decrease in vision with the duration of the disease was observed. Login to comment
131 First, patients with the G1961E mutation, although classified in phenotype groups II and III, show the slowest progression of the TMV loss. Login to comment
132 Therefore, patients with STGD with the G1961E variant have, in general, a better than average disease prognosis. Login to comment
133 This observation is supported by two earlier re- ports20,25 and could be explained by the fact that although the G1961E variant had a drastic effect on ATPase activity, it was comparable to the wild-type protein in yield.8 Second, patients with the L541P/A1038V complex allele have, near the average in all patients with STGD, a moderate rate of disease progression.

134 In in vitro studies, the L541P/ A1038V variant demonstrated a reduced, but not completely abolished, ATPase activity.20 The subgroup of patients, compound heterozygous for the L541P/A1038V and G863A alleles, show a better prognosis (i.e., a slower progression of the disease). Login to comment

92 However, when coupled with a deleterious variant such as the 5917delG mutation, it seems to result in a more severe phenotype.21 Patients with the L541P/A1038V complex allele were classified as phenotype II in 70% (7/10) of cases, the rest (3/10) as belonging to the phenotype III group (Table 1).

2 We analyzed a cohort of 29 arRP families for the mutations in ABCA4 with a commercial microarray, ABCR-400 in addition to direct sequencing and segregation analysis, and identified both mutant alleles in two families (7%): compound heterozygosity for missense (R602W) and nonsense (R408X) alleles and homozygosity for a complex [L541P; A1038V] allele.

81 Rod photoreceptors expressing each of the mutant proteins, except A1038V, demonstrated localization of the transgenic protein to the rod inner segment and cell body. Login to comment
83 Mutation A1038V does not influence the localization of ABCA4 and the mutant protein was found in the ROS. Login to comment
92 Functional studies of the arRP-associated complex allele [L541P; A1038V] also showed abnormal localization to rod IS although the IF studies revealed a different staining pattern than R602W, because the mutant protein forms fine aggregates in the IS (Fig. 2E and F). Login to comment
93 The aggregate formation suggests a mechanism distinct from that observed for R602W may be responsible for the retention of [L541P; A1038V] in the IS. Login to comment
94 To determine which mutation prevents translocation of [L541P; A1038V] to ROS, we examined functionally the L541P and A1038V mutants independently. Login to comment

104 We employed this assay to examine the effects of [L541P; A1038V], R602W and C1490Y mutations on in vitro ATP hydrolysis. Login to comment
107 The rate of ATP hydrolysis of the complex allele [L541P; A1038V] was decreased to 68.1% of wild-type ABCA4 (Fig. 3). Login to comment
112 Decreased ATPase activity does not likely contribute to the overall pathogenicity of [L541P; A1038V] because localization to the ROS is the primary event that determines placement of the protein in its natural environment and is presumably required for it to perform its physiological function.

137 We hypothesized that the disease-associated missense mutations [L541P; A1038V], R602W and C1490Y could exert a possible effect on protein processing as this mechanism, which prevents altered proteins from locating to its physiologic compartment, was documented for other ABC transporters in related diseases including cystic fibrosis (CFTR) and Tangier disease (ABCA1).

138 To examine this hypothesis, we generated transgenic X. laevis tadpoles expressing WT, [L541P; A1038V], R602W and C1490Y mutants and documented that the three mutant alleles cause mislocalization of ABCA4. Login to comment

30 What makes ABCR a more difficult diagnostic target than CFTR is that the most frequent disease-associated ABCR alleles, e.g., 5882G>A (G1961E), 2588G>C (G863A/ delG863), and 3113C>T (A1038V), have each been described in only B10% of STGD patients in a distinct population, whereas the delF508 allele of CFTR accounts for close to 70% of all cystic fibrosis alleles [Zielenski and Tsui, 1995].

84 Patients with the complex mutation L541P-A1038V Two patients were compound heterozygous for this complex mutation and a nonsense mutation (W855X, patient 4) as well as a mutation with bipartite outcome [2588G→C (G863A/G863del), patient 5]. Login to comment
91 Patients with the missense mutation 2588G→C Four patients were compound heterozygous for this missense mutation and an alteration in the donor splice site of exon 13 (IVS13+1G→A, siblings 7a and 7b), a complex mutation [L541P-A1038V (patient 5, results described above)] or a missense mutation (A1038V, patient 6). Login to comment
158 The slightly more advanced cone dysfunction in patient 3 could be caused by the more severe functional restrictions of the associated nonsense mutation (Y362X), which results in a non-functional gene product. Login to comment
159 The complex mutation L541P-A1038V was associated with an earlier onset and more rapid progression when occurring together with the W855X nonsense mutation (patient 4) than with the missense mutation 2588G→C (patient 5). Login to comment
160 Both mutations on their own, L541P and A1038V, have been associated with severely reduced but not abolished ATPase activity [49]. Login to comment
164 The missense mutation 2588G→C resulted in a more advanced cone and rod dysfunction when associated with the IVS13+1G→A splice site (siblings 7a and 7b) than with the missense mutation A1038V (patient 6) in the second allele. Login to comment
165 This difference is predictable since the A1038V showed a reduced ATPase activity of about 60% but a nearly wild-type-like yield [49]. Login to comment
163 The missense mutation 2588G࢐C resulted in a more advanced cone and rod dysfunction when associated with the IVS13+1G࢐A splice site (siblings 7a and 7b) than with the missense mutation A1038V (patient 6) in the second allele. Login to comment

68 A rarely encountered missense change, Ala1637Thr, was interpreted as nonpathogenic because it was found in a patient (032-066) who also had two obviously null mutations determined to be allelic by segregation analysis, Lys356Ter and Gln1513(insC). Login to comment
69 Another change, Ala1038Val, was found in two patients (032-023 and 034-035), and in both cases segregation analysis showed that it was in cis with Leu541Pro, a combination also reported by Rivera et al.23 We interpreted Leu541Pro as pathogenic because it was found without the Ala1038Val change more frequently in patients than in control subjects. Login to comment
70 However, Sun et al.26 have shown abnormal ABCR function associated with either Ala1038Val or Leu541Pro, and it is therefore possible that both these changes are pathogenic in isolation. Login to comment

77 Patient 25 exhibited mild clinical changes, and the genetic analysis revealed a 296insA mutation in exon 3 and an A1038V mutation in exon 21 (Table 1). Login to comment
118 Patient 25, who had a mild phenotype carrying a 296insA mutation in exon 3 and an A1038V mutation in exon 21, exhibited reduced standard 30-Hz-fERG signals that were somewhat advanced compared with the normal subject (A). Login to comment
204 Correlation with Genotype It has been proposed that residual ABCA4 protein activity determines the clinical phenotype of SMD-FF and other related retinal diseases, whereas the pairing of two null or severe mutations is thought to lead to a more severe phenotype resembling a cone-rod dystrophy or inverse RP.33-35 The mutation profile in our group of patients with SMD-FF (with two identified mutations) is in concordance with this model, because only a combination of a mild and severe mutation (e.g., G1961E and 296insA) or of two moderate mutations (e.g., IVS40ϩ5G3A and A1038V) were encountered, whereas the pairing of two null or severe mutations was not observed in our patient sample.

148 These included three nonconservative changes, Gly1961Glu, Arg1108Cys, and Arg212Cys, and five other changes that were conservative by our criteria, Leu541Pro, Ala1038Val, Pro1380Leu, Leu2027Phe, and Arg2107His. Login to comment
177 Similarly, Leu541Pro occurred in 10 patients with Stargardt disease who harbored the variant Ala1038Val, and, when phase could be determined, these variations were found in cis. Login to comment
178 One patient with Stargardt disease bore Leu541Pro without the Ala1038Val variant, and seven harbored the Ala1038Val change without Leu541Pro. Login to comment
179 Ala1038Val without Leu541Pro was also found in one patient with AMD. Login to comment
182 Considering only those variants predicted to cause protein truncation and missense changes compatible with disease association, we found 1 patient with five such variants, 11 with three, and a further 6 with two (Leu541Pro and Ala1038Val) that were on the same chromosome. Login to comment

149 These included three nonconservative changes, Gly1961Glu, Arg1108Cys, and Arg212Cys, and five other changes that were conservative by our criteria, Leu541Pro, Ala1038Val, Pro1380Leu, Leu2027Phe, and Arg2107His. Login to comment

184 Considering only those variants predicted to cause protein truncation and missense changes compatible with disease association, we found 1 patient with five such variants, 11 with three, and a further 6 with two (Leu541Pro and Ala1038Val) that were on the same chromosome. Login to comment

71 Each of the two more common mutations, A1038V and R1108C, was identified in four disease chromosomes and together comprised 24% (8/33) of identified mutant alleles. Login to comment
111 To compare this observation directly with our previous report (Lewis et al. 1999), we replaced five mutations (A1038V, L2027F, R2030Q, R2038W, V2050L) to linker regions. Login to comment
134 Conversely, missense mutations located in other regions (e.g., missense mutations in late-onset STGD1) might retain some ABCR activity. This hypothesis is supported by the observations of Sun et al. (2000) that ABCR missense mutations located outside the known functional domains (L541P, G863A, A1038V, R1108C, R1129L, C1488R, R2106C) have a milder functional effect on expression and ATP-binding activity (1/3-2/3 activity of wild-type).

29 What makes ABCR an even more difficult diagnostic target than CFTR is that, across all populations studied, the most-frequent disease-associated ABCR alleles-for example, G1961E, G863A/ delG863, and A1038V-have been described in ~10% of patients with STGD, whereas the delF508 allele of CFTR accounts for close to 70% of all cystic fibrosis alleles (Zielenski and Tsui 1995).

40 Second, both studies have identified a frequent, complex allele, L541P/A1038V, in patients of German origin who have both STGD and CRD (Maugeri et al. 2000 [in this issue]; Rivera et al. 2000 [in this issue]). Login to comment
46 In addition, the complexity of the genotype/phenotype-correlation studies in ABCR-related retinal dystrophies is underlined by the fact that two patients homozygous for the L541P/A1038V allele were diagnosed with CRD and STGD (Maugeri et al. 2000 [in this issue]; Rivera et al. 2000 [in this issue]).

149 Although the majority of mutations are rare, found in only one or two families, three disease alleles (2588GrC, L541P-A1038V, and G1961E) are present at high frequencies in the German population. Login to comment
152 The second-most-frequent allele is a complex allele, with A1038V occurring on the same haplotype as L541P (21/166 [12.7%]). Login to comment
153 Although the A1038V mutation is commonly reported in the literature, the L541P-A1038V complex allele has been reported only five times (Rozet et al. 1998; Fishman et al. 1999; Lewis et al. 1999; Maugeri et al. 1999). Login to comment
156 These three alterations, in combination with five others (R681X, A1038V as noncomplex allele, R1108C, Q1412X, R1898H, and IVS40ϩ5GrA), account for 61.4% of the detectable disease chromosomes in the German patients with STGD. Login to comment
172 On the contrary, specific mutations are associated with highly variable ages at onset; for example, compound heterozygosity for the complex allele L541P-A1038V and G1961E was found in patients with age at onset of 9-25 years (table 5). Login to comment
189 The findings in this study point to additional variants (2588GrC, A1038V, and R1898H) that are present in reasonable frequencies in the German population and that may be worthwhile candidates for further extended analyses in large-scale international efforts. Login to comment

101 For the double-mutant chromosomes in the compound heterozygous families (AR31: Y340D and R572Q; AR106: E471K and E2131K; AR128: R572Q and G863A; and AR189: L541P and A1038V) and in those families in which the second disease chromosome was not identified (AR215: H1406Y and V2050L; AR264: D1204N and L2027F; AR254: D249G and R1898H; AR265: G863A and R1898H; AR285: 2714ϩ5GrA and 2884delC; and AR305: G863A and R1898H), in three cases (AR128, AR265, and AR305) each mutation on the double-mutant chromosome had been identified independently as disease causing in other, unrelated families with STGD1 (table 1).

110 Seven mutant alleles, including six missense amino acid substitutions and one splice-site mutation (G863A, A1038V, R1108C, T1526M, G1961E, L2027F, and 5714ϩ5GrA) accounted for 41% of the disease-causing mutations identified in this cohort. Login to comment
111 In three instances, identical codons were affected by different base-pair substitutions, yielding different predicted missense amino acid substitutions (R572Q and R572P; R1129C and R1129L) or a missense substitution and a stop codon (R2030Q and R2030X). Login to comment
139 Different families with the same combination of alleles (e.g., AR326 and AR391, both with genotype L2027F/T1526M; AR376 and AR393, both with genotype A1038V/R1108C) usually have similar ages at onset, as was shown for Figure 4 Pedigree AR33, a family with STGD that manifests a pseudodominant inheritance pattern. Login to comment
146 However, variation in self-reported age at onset, even by 11 decade, was noted for two families with identical ABCR compound heterozygous genotypes (age 8 years for family AR417 and age 20 years for family AR274, each with genotype G1961E/A1038V), suggesting either modifier alleles or environmental factors affecting disease expression or different sensitivity to reported age at onset.

47 The analysis of the DNA testing results showed 2 mutations in the ABCA4 gene: a nucleotide substitution in exon 12 (c.1622T>C; L541P) and a nucleotide substitution in exon 21 (c.3113C>T; A1038V). Login to comment
60 Several studies have identified frequent ethnic group-specific ABCA4 alleles, such as the c.2588G>C variant resulting in a dual effect, p.G863A/delG863 as a founder mutation in Northern European patients with Stargardt disease, and a complex allele p.L541P/A1038V in the patients of the German origin who have both Stargardt disease and cone-rod dystrophy.

64 Our presented mutations (L541P and A1038V) are not rare in Stargardt disease, but in this case, the disease was caused by a rare combination of double homozygous mutations. Login to comment
67 A1038V, a missense mutation, is reported as one of the most common mutations in the ABCA4 gene when is detected as a component of the complex allele L541P/A1038V. Login to comment
68 The complex allele demonstrates mislocalization and therefore reduced function of the ABCA4 protein, while the protein associated with A1038V alone does not mislocalize. Login to comment
69 A1038V is also pathogenic without L541P as it has a deleterious impact on ATPase by ABCA4 in vitro (13). Login to comment

8 In order to further understand the contribution of this gene to the susceptibility to STGD and RP, we analyzed three unrelated STGD families and one autosomal recessive RP family specifically for the more common variants (A1038V, G1961E, 2588G&#a1;C, R943Q or 2828G&#a1;A) in the ABCA4 gene.

49 To further extend the diagnostic and prognostic value of the molecular genetic study of STGD and to understand the genetic heterogeneity of RP, in this report we analyzed three unrelated STGD families and one AR RP family specifically for the more common variants (A1038V, G1961E, R943Q or 2828G&#a1;A and 2588G&#a1;C) of the ABCA4 gene which when mutated produce a broad spectrum of the retinal phenotypes including RP and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

79 The amplified product was subjected to restriction enzyme digestion with either 10 units of Alu I (2588G&#a1;C mutation in exon 17 of ABCA4 gene creates a site for Alu I), or Bse YI (A1038V mutation in exon 21 destroys a site for Bse YI), or Taq I (G1961E variation in exon 42 in ABCA4 creates a Taq I site), or Msp I (R943Q alteration in exon 19 destroys the Msp I site), or Nla III (Y402H mutation in exon 9 of the CFH gene creates a Nla III site) at 37da;C (Alu I, Bse YI, Msp I, Nla III) and 65da;C (Taq I) for 1 h.

7 The most common, L541P/A1038V, has been reported as a founder mutation in Hungaro-German populations.14,16,17 Furthermore "ethnic group-specific" ABCA4 alleles have been described in other populations also, C1490Y and R602W in South African patients,18 and N965S in a Danish population19 among others.20 In an attempt to explain the variability seen in ABCA4 retinal phenotypes and to correlate this with individual mutation effect, a model was proposed which correlated disease severity with residual ABCA4 function.14,21 Maugeri classified ABCA4 mutant alleles as "mild", "moderate", and "severe" based on the predicted effect of the mutation on the transport function of the protein, ie, the more severe the effect of the mutation on ABCA4 function, the more aggressive the disease phenotype.

17 Several studies have identified frequent "ethnic group-specific" ABCA4 alleles, such as the c.2588Gb0e;C variant resulting in a dual effect, p.G863A/delG863, as a founder mutation in Northern European patients with STGD17 and a complex allele (two variants on the same chromosome), p.L541P/A1038V, in both STGD1 and CRD patients of German origin (Fig. 2B).3,8 Complex ABCA4 alleles are not uncommon in STGD1.9 In fact, they are detected in approximately 10% of all STGD patients.10 Allelic heterogeneity has substantially complicated genetic analyses of ABCA4-associated retinal disease.

47 In some cases where no mutations were detected by the array, or in more recently recruited patients, the next generation sequencing of the entire ABCA4 open reading frame and adjacent intronic sequences was performed on the Roche 454 platform.30 The four most common mutations found in six or more patients were: G1961E (12 patients from 11 families); L541P/ A1038V (eight patients from five families); L2027F (six patients from five families); and P1380L (six patients from six families).

49 For the purposes of analyses reported below, we will refer to those eight mutations as the ''more common mutations.`` In two patients (two families), A1038V was present in a compound heterozygous state with other mutations while not as a complex allele with L541P (Table 1). Login to comment

146 When corrected for age (P &#bc; 0.04) and sex (P &#bc; 0.004), compared with all other patients who did not have that particular mutation, the mutations L2027F (P &#bc; 0.009) and L541P/A1038V (P &#bc; 0.015) were associated with higher qAF8, while A1038V (when not in conjunction with L541P, P &#bc; 0.06); G851D (P &#bc; 0.006); and G1961E (P < 0.001) were associated with lower qAF8 in this sample.

180 The mutations were confirmed in six or more patients (G1961E, L541P/A1038V, L2027F, and P1380L) or in two to four patients (R1640W, Y1557C, G851D, and R2030Q). Login to comment

226 For example, based on our cross-sectional data, the mutations L2027F and L541P/A1038V seem to confer a faster rate of accumulation, whereas G1961E and G851D seems to confer a slower increase (Fig. 5). Login to comment

230 binding domain (NBD)-1 and confers severe STGD1 with relatively early onset of retina-wide disease.44-47 In our study, the L541P/A1038V complex allele was in some patients associated with high qAF8 even at young ages, while in other patients, particularly in those compound heterozygous for L541P/A1038V and G1961E, qAF8 values were relatively lower (Fig. 5). Login to comment
232 Thus it is likely that in these cases, the lower qAF values do not reflect a decrease in qAF after an earlier rapid elevation, but rather a slower increase in qAF8 due to the presence of the G1961E allele (L541P/A1038V &#fe; G1961E). Login to comment

170 This is illustrated in Figure 8, in which disease progression over 2.5 years is shown for the brother of patient 15, who also carries the complex allele L541P/ A1038V. Login to comment
187 This ABCA4-positive patient was not included in the study (because of presence of peripheral flecks), but he also carries the complex allele L541P/A1038V. Login to comment

186 Of the other disease-associated ABCA4 alleles compound heterozygous with p.G1961E, the p.L541P mutation, presenting alone or as a complex allele with the p.A1038V variant, was observed in seven cases (four unrelated) with optical gap (Table 2 and Supplementary Table S1) while only once in patients without the phenotype (Supplementary Table S1). Login to comment
189 Therefore, we can conclude that the p.G1961E variant, maybe sometimes together with the p.L541P or p. (L541P; A1038V) allele, is currently the only ABCA4 mutation associated with the optical gap phenotype. Login to comment

168 The latter mutations are located in the exocytoplasmic domain-1 and nucleotide binding domain-1 and confer severe and relatively early-onset retina-wide disease.37-40 In recent work using quantitative fundus AF, we also reported that the L541P/ A1038V complex allele confers particularly high levels of fundus AF.4 At positions where EZ is disrupted, the NIR-AF signal may be detectable even if the RPE cells are dysfunctional. Alternatively, this pattern could indicate that in these cases photoreceptor cells die first. Login to comment

124 [(L541P; A1038V)] correlated with AO in the direction unexpected for a non-truncating variant (Spearman R &#bc; 0.24, p &#bc; 0.019), suggesting that the effect of p. Login to comment

139 [(L541P; A1038V)] allele, was present in more than 33.7% (31/92) of our patients, which corresponds to at least one fourth (37/143) of all alleles with an identified mutation. Login to comment
141 [(L541P; A1038V)] allele frequency of 20.1% (37/184) in our cohort is higher than the 14% (10/70) reported in Hungarian Table 1 Frequency of common ABCA4 variant alleles identified in the study compared with control subjects of European origin. Login to comment

158 [(L541P; A1038V)] has been so far regarded as a founder mutation of mostly German origin (Hargitai et al., 2005; Rivera et al., 2000). Login to comment
160 [(L541P; A1038V)] allele among our patients was paralleled by a relatively high frequency of p.L541P- and p.A1038V-containing alleles in the Polish population. Login to comment
161 To dissect the pathogenic potential of p.L541P and p.A1038V, both mutations were examined independently. Login to comment
163 Subsequent functional studies in transgenic frogs have demonstrated that the ABCA4 protein processing is affected by p.L541P but not by p.A1038V. Login to comment
164 A mislocalization of the p.L541P mutant in the rod inner segments and correct localization of p.A1038V to rod outer segments were detected. Login to comment
167 [(L541P; A1038V)] had a strong impact on the age of disease onset in our patients. Login to comment
170 [(L541P; A1038V)] was almost three times earlier (7.8 vs. 23.7 years) than in patients with other missense or with no detectable ABCA4 mutations (data not shown). Login to comment

210 [(L541P; A1038V)] in the German and Polish patients, and p.R1129L in the Spanish patients, the data cast considerable doubt on the pathogenic potential of p.V552I. Login to comment
214 [(L541P; A1038V)] showed a strong statistically significant difference indicating that p.V552I is either non-pathogenic or has a very low penetrance. Login to comment
