Macular pigment and visual acuity in Stargardt macular dystrophy.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol. 2002 Oct;240(10):802-9. Epub 2002 Sep 14., [PMID:12397427]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that macular pigment reflects foveal cone function and possibly the presence of foveal cones in recessive Stargardt macular dystrophy. METHODS: Sixteen patients (32 eyes) diagnosed to have Stargardt macular dystrophy by clinical criteria were studied with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) comparing argon laser blue (488 nm), green (514), helium-neon laser red (633 nm) and infrared diode laser (780 nm) images for the presence or absence of macular pigment in the fovea. Fifteen of the patients were screened for mutations in the ABCR gene. Eyes were graded into three categories: those without foveal macular pigment, those with partial pigment and those with normal amounts of macular pigment. These categories were compared with visual acuity determined by the Snellen chart. RESULTS: All patients with a visual acuity of 20/200 or worse had no macular pigment in the fovea. All patients with visual acuity of 20/40 or better had a normal amount of macular pigment in the fovea. Patients with partial macular pigment had intermediary acuity values except for two eyes, one with 20/20 and another with 20/200 acuity. Infrared light revealed more retinal abnormalities than blue light at early stages of the disease. CONCLUSION: Foveal macular pigment is related to foveal cone acuity in Stargardt macular dystrophy and may be a marker for the presence of foveal cones. Infrared light is a sensitive monitor of early Stargardt macular dystrophy.

Clinical and molecular analysis of Stargardt disease with preserved foveal structure and function.
Am J Ophthalmol. 2013 Sep;156(3):487-501.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.ajo.2013.05.003., [PMID:23953153]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: To describe a cohort of patients with Stargardt disease who show a foveal-sparing phenotype. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. METHODS: The foveal-sparing phenotype was defined as foveal preservation on autofluorescence imaging, despite a retinopathy otherwise consistent with Stargardt disease. Forty such individuals were ascertained and a full ophthalmic examination was undertaken. Following mutation screening of ABCA4, the molecular findings were compared with those of patients with Stargardt disease but no foveal sparing. RESULTS: The median age of onset and age at examination of 40 patients with the foveal-sparing phenotype were 43.5 and 46.5 years. The median logMAR visual acuity was 0.18. Twenty-two patients (22/40, 55%) had patchy parafoveal atrophy and flecks; 8 (20%) had numerous flecks at the posterior pole without atrophy; 7 (17.5%) had mottled retinal pigment epithelial changes; 2 (5%) had multiple atrophic lesions, extending beyond the arcades; and 1 (2.5%) had a bull's-eye appearance. The median central foveal thickness assessed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic images was 183.0 mum (n = 33), with outer retinal tubulation observed in 15 (45%). Twenty-two of 33 subjects (67%) had electrophysiological evidence of macular dysfunction without generalized retinal dysfunction. Disease-causing variants were found in 31 patients (31/40, 78%). There was a higher prevalence of the variant p.Arg2030Gln in the cohort with foveal sparing compared to the group with foveal atrophy (6.45% vs 1.07%). CONCLUSIONS: The distinct clinical and molecular characteristics of patients with the foveal-sparing phenotype are described. The presence of 2 distinct phenotypes of Stargardt disease (foveal sparing and foveal atrophy) suggests that there may be more than 1 disease mechanism in ABCA4 retinopathy.

ABCA4 gene screening by next-generation sequencing in a British cohort.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2013 Oct 11;54(10):6662-74. doi: 10.1167/iovs.13-12570., [PMID:23982839]

Abstract [show]
PURPOSE: We applied a recently reported next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategy for screening the ABCA4 gene in a British cohort with ABCA4-associated disease and report novel mutations. METHODS: We identified 79 patients with a clinical diagnosis of ABCA4-associated disease who had a single variant identified by the ABCA4 microarray. Comprehensive phenotypic data were obtained, and the NGS strategy was applied to identify the second allele by means of sequencing the entire coding region and adjacent intronic sequences of the ABCA4 gene. Identified variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and assessed for pathogenicity by in silico analysis. RESULTS: Of the 42 variants detected by prescreening with the microarray, in silico analysis suggested that 34, found in 66 subjects, were disease-causing and 8, found in 13 subjects, were benign variants. We detected 42 variants by NGS, of which 39 were classified as disease-causing. Of these 39 variants, 31 were novel, including 16 missense, 7 splice-site-altering, 4 nonsense, 1 in-frame deletion, and 3 frameshift variants. Two or more disease-causing variants were confirmed in 37 (47%) of 79 patients, one disease-causing variant in 36 (46%) subjects, and no disease-causing variant in 6 (7%) individuals. CONCLUSIONS: Application of the NGS platform for ABCA4 screening enabled detection of the second disease-associated allele in approximately half of the patients in a British cohort where one mutation had been detected with the arrayed primer extension (APEX) array. The time- and cost-efficient NGS strategy is useful in screening large cohorts, which will be increasingly valuable with the advent of ABCA4-directed therapies.

97 Of a total of 84 different variants identified in this study by APEX and NGS, there were two ''NGS false-negative`` variants (p.R1129H and p.Q1513fs), which were detected on APEX array, but were not detected by NGS (Table 2, patients 25 and 38). Login to comment
100 Two variants were detected only on APEX array, but not identified by NGS; one frameshift variant (p.Q1513fs) and one disease-causing missense variant (p.R1129H). Login to comment
132 It recently has been proposed that intronic and synonymous variants may account for a significant proportion of the remaining disease-causing variants not identified with exomic NGS.5,39 There were two ''NGS false negative`` variants (p.R1129H and p.Q1513fs) and three ''APEX false negative`` variants (p.R219*, p.R1108C, and p.S1071fs) in our cohort.

133 The missense variant p.R1129H was not detected by NGS, most likely due to allele-specific amplification. Login to comment
