Correlation between photoreceptor layer integrity and visual function in patients with Stargardt disease: implications for gene therapy.

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: To perform a clinical characterization of Stargardt patients with ABCA4 gene mutation, and to investigate the correlation between the inner and outer segment (IS/OS) junction morphology and visual acuity, fundus lesions, electroretinogram abnormalities, and macular sensitivity. METHODS: Sixty-one patients with Stargardt disease (STGD) were given a comprehensive ophthalmic examination. Inner-outer photoreceptor junction morphology evaluated by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography was correlated with visual acuity, fundus lesions, fundus autofluorescence, full-field and multifocal electroretinography responses, and microperimetric macular sensitivities. We classified STGD patients into three groups: (1) IS/OS junction disorganization in the fovea, (2) IS/OS junction loss in the fovea, and (3) extensive loss of IS/OS junction. Mutation analysis of the ABCA4 gene was carried out by sequencing the complete coding region. RESULTS: A significant difference in visual acuity was observed between IS/OS groups 1 and 2 and between IS/OS groups 2 and 3 (P < 0.0001). A significant difference in microperimetry sensitivity was observed between IS/OS groups 2 and 3, and between IS/OS groups 1 and 3 (P < 0.0001). There was also a statistically significant correlation between IS/OS abnormalities and the extent of fundus lesions (Spearman P </= 0.01), as well as with the type of ERG and multifocal ERG results (Spearman P </= 0.01). Finally, the degree of IS/OS junction preservation showed a statistically significant correlation with the extension of foveal abnormalities assessed by fundus autofluorescence imaging (Spearman P </= 0.01). The G1961E mutation was more frequent in the patients without extensive loss of IS/OS junction (P = 0.01) confirming its association with a milder STGD phenotype. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that a comprehensive approach in the examination of Stargardt patients has the potential to improve the understanding of vision loss and may provide a sensitive measure to evaluate the efficacy of future experimental therapies in patients with STGD.

Novel mutations in of the ABCR gene in Italian patients with Stargardt disease.
Eye (Lond). 2010 Jan;24(1):158-64. Epub 2009 Mar 6., [PMID:19265867]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: Stargardt disease (STGD) is the most prevalent juvenile macular dystrophy, and it has been associated with mutations in the ABCR gene, encoding a photoreceptor-specific transport protein. In this study, we determined the mutation spectrum in the ABCR gene in a group of Italian STGD patients. METHODS: The DNA samples of 71 Italian patients (from 62 independent pedigrees), affected with autosomal recessive STGD, were analysed for mutations in all 50 exons of the ABCR gene by the DHPLC approach (with optimization of the DHPLC conditions for mutation analysis) and direct sequencing techniques. RESULTS: In our group of STGD patients, 71 mutations were identified in 68 patients with a detection rate of 95.7%. Forty-three mutations had been already reported in the literature, whereas 28 mutations had not been previously described and were not detected in 150 unaffected control individuals of Italian origin. Missense mutations represented the most frequent finding (59.2%); G1961E was the most common mutation and it was associated with phenotypes in various degrees of severity. CONCLUSIONS: Some novel mutations in the ABCR gene were reported in a group of Italian STGD patients confirming the extensive allelic heterogeneity of this gene-probably related to the vast number of exons that favours rearrangements in the DNA sequence.
