Mutations in the ABCA4 (ABCR) gene are the major cause of autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy.

Abstract [show]
The photoreceptor cell-specific ATP-binding cassette transporter gene (ABCA4; previously denoted "ABCR") is mutated, in most patients, with autosomal recessive (AR) Stargardt disease (STGD1) or fundus flavimaculatus (FFM). In addition, a few cases with AR retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and AR cone-rod dystrophy (CRD) have been found to have ABCA4 mutations. To evaluate the importance of the ABCA4 gene as a cause of AR CRD, we selected 5 patients with AR CRD and 15 patients from Germany and The Netherlands with isolated CRD. Single-strand conformation-polymorphism analysis and sequencing revealed 19 ABCA4 mutations in 13 (65%) of 20 patients. In six patients, mutations were identified in both ABCA4 alleles; in seven patients, mutations were detected in one allele. One complex ABCA4 allele (L541P;A1038V) was found exclusively in German patients with CRD; one patient carried this complex allele homozygously, and five others were compound heterozygous. These findings suggest that mutations in the ABCA4 gene are the major cause of AR CRD. A primary role of the ABCA4 gene in STGD1/FFM and AR CRD, together with the gene's involvement in an as-yet-unknown proportion of cases with AR RP, strengthens the idea that mutations in the ABCA4 gene could be the most frequent cause of inherited retinal dystrophy in humans.

32 Although the significance of this finding is under debate (Stone et al. 1998), at least two ABCA4 mutations (G1961E and D2177N) have been shown, in a large multicenter study, to be statistically more frequent in patients Table 1 ABCA4 Mutations in Patients with CRD PATIENT INHERITANCE ABCA4 ALLELE 1 ABCA4 ALLELE 2 Nucleotide Changes Effects Nucleotide Changes Effects 9250a Isolated 1622TrC;3113CrT L541P;A1038Vb 194GrA G65Eb 9303 AR 1622TrC;3113CrT L541P;A1038Vb 9336 Isolated 6658CrT Q2220X 9369a AR 6601-6602delAG Frameshift 9370 Isolated 1622TrC;3113CrT L541P;A1038Vb 9371 Isolated 1622TrC;3113CrT L541P;A1038Vb 1622TrC;3113CrT L541P;A1038Vb 9378a Isolated 768GrT 5 Splice mutationb 9553 AR 2588GrC DG863/G863Ab IVS35del-2rϩ2del4 3 Splice mutation 9633 Isolated 1622TrC;3113CrT L541P;A1038Vb 4469GrA C1490Yb 9650 Isolated 3364GrA E1122Kb 9887 Isolated 4793CrA A1598D 6329GrA W2110X 11872 Isolated 634CrT R212Cb 13163a AR 1622TrC;3113CrT L541P;A1038Vb IVS36ϩ1GrA 5 Splice mutationb a Patient with atypical CRD.

status: NEW76 Four are thought to represent null mutations, either because they introduce a stop codon (W2110X and Q2220X), result in a frameshift (6601-6602delAG), or disrupt a splice site (IVS35- 2rϩ2del4).
