Informations about the disease
Stargardt disease is the most common, but only one of several genetic diseases that cause progressive macular degeneration with (sometimes undetected) loss of vision in childhood or adolescence, patients rarely go completely blind. In the more and more complex differential diagnosis, besides ABCA4 (Stargardt disease 1), ELOVL4 (Stargardt disease 3) and PROM1 (Stargardt disease 4) some other genes have to be included. The disease is usually inherited autosomal recessively, more rarely autosomal dominantly. The diagnostic yield reaches >70-80%. An inconspicuous genetic finding does not mean an exclusion of the suspected clinical diagnosis, especially since the differential diagnosis with (clinically closely) related macular degeneration syndromes can be very difficult.
