Abstract [show]
Current retinal imaging techniques using scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) provide a powerful mechanism for characterizing the topographical distribution of lipofuscin fluorophores and atrophic lesions (ALs) in retinal disease. In this paper we describe a novel Edge-Flow-Driven Variational Image Segmentation analysis to measure and evaluate progressive change in the area of ALs as well as regions of hyperfluorescence (HF). The algorithm is embedded in a series of almost completely automated image processing steps that allow rapid comparison of serial images. The sensitivity of the methodology to detect change was evaluated by measuring progression of AF lesion size in a cohort of Stargardt Macular Dystrophy (STGD) patients. Fifty-two STGD subjects (mean age = 41.0 +/- 16.6 years, range 9-78 yrs) at varying stages of disease participated in this prospective study. Twenty-four of the 52 subjects presented with atrophic lesions in one or both eyes on first evaluation. For this subgroup of subjects, the mean (+/-1 sd) follow-up time was 2.92 (+0.26) years (range 0.57-3.26 years) and the mean (+/-1 sd) rate of change was found to be approximately 0.94 (+/-0.87) mm(2)/year (range 0.2-2.13 mm(2)/yr). With this methodology, progressive enlargement of AL area was detectable in as little as one year, while regions of HF generally decreased, although there was considerable variability in the appearnce of HF, presumably reflecting the combined effects of the creation or expansion of lipofuscin deposits and resorption and loss associated with retinal cell death. Our findings suggest that this methodology is sufficiently sensitive to detect change and provides a clinically relevant tool to monitor progression not only with regards to natural history, but also to evaluate the efficacy of potential therapeutic interventions in STGD. Finally, we evaluated the association between AL area and measures of rod- and cone-mediated retinal function, as assessed with electroretinography (ERG). In general, the larger the AL, the poorer the ERG response, with a greater impact of lesion size on cone- rather than rod-mediated retinal function, a finding that was expected on the basis of the location and size of the AL and the distribution of rod- and cone-photoreceptors.

ABCA4 gene analysis in patients with autosomal recessive cone and cone rod dystrophies.
Eur J Hum Genet. 2008 Jul;16(7):812-9. Epub 2008 Feb 20., [PMID:18285826]
Abstract [show]
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute a family of large membrane proteins, which transport a variety of substrates across membranes. The ABCA4 protein is expressed in photoreceptors and possibly functions as a transporter for N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine (N-retinylidene-PE), the Schiff base adduct of all-trans-retinal with PE. Mutations in the ABCA4 gene have been initially associated with autosomal recessive Stargardt disease. Subsequent studies have shown that mutations in ABCA4 can also cause a variety of other retinal dystrophies including cone rod dystrophy and retinitis pigmentosa. To determine the prevalence and mutation spectrum of ABCA4 gene mutations in non-Stargardt phenotypes, we have screened 64 unrelated patients with autosomal recessive cone (arCD) and cone rod dystrophy (arCRD) applying the Asper Ophthalmics ABCR400 microarray followed by DNA sequencing of all coding exons of the ABCA4 gene in subjects with single heterozygous mutations. Disease-associated ABCA4 alleles were identified in 20 of 64 patients with arCD or arCRD. In four of 64 patients (6%) only one mutant ABCA4 allele was detected and in 16 patients (25%), mutations on both ABCA4 alleles were identified. Based on these data we estimate a prevalence of 31% for ABCA4 mutations in arCD and arCRD, supporting the concept that the ABCA4 gene is a major locus for various types of degenerative retinal diseases with abnormalities in cone or both cone and rod function.

42 Two of the sequence variants are predicted to result in a truncated ABCA4 protein: c.700C4T constitutes an early stop mutation (p.Q234X), while the c.3539_3554del deletion leads to a frameshift and subsequent introduction of a premature termination codon after eight altered amino acid residues (p.S1181PfsX8).
