    1. Patient 2 is the 47-year-old sister of patient 1.

      Case#: 47-year-old female, sibling of patient 1.

      DiseaseAssertion: Discordant STGD phenotype

      FamilyInfo: The mother was found to harbour p.L541V/p.A1038V, and the father carried the p.R811C mutation; both of whom were asymptomatic with normal retinal examination (Fig. 1). ABCA4 screening detected three variants: two variants p.L541V and p.A1038V – commonly co-inherited in a complex allele in STGD (Maugeri et al. 2000) – and a third novel variant p.R881C (Fig. 1). Patient 1 had all three variants

      CasePhenotypeFreeText: Patient 2 is the 47-year-old sister of patient 1. At initial examination in 1994, she reported a central scotoma. VA was 6/9 in both eyes with bilateral subtle foveal atrophy and perifoveal yellowish-white flecks (Fig. 1). By 2003, foveal atrophy had progressed with more perifoveal flecks (Fig. 1). In 2012, her VA was 6/12 bilaterally, but fundus findings remained stable (Fig. 1). AF imaging demonstrated a mottled signal within the central macula, optical coherence tomography showed outer retinal disruption confined to the central macula

      CasePreviousTesting: The article mentions ABCA4 screen but does not go into detail. However, it does say,”(patient 2) harboured the complex allele (p.L541V/p.A1038V)”

      GenotypingMethod: Again only mentioned ABCA4 screening without going into detail.
