Case: Family SG-04 Patient II:1. Indian Male, 26 years old diagnosed with Stargardt's disease DiseaseAssertion: Stargardt disease

FamilyInfo: Only child of nonconsanguineous parents. Proband's unaffected mother (I:1) harbored only one heterozygous variant (p.Gly1961Glu) in ABCA4. His father (I:2) was clinically normal and was not included for genetic testing.

CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0001129, HP:0007401 (Large central visual field defect, Macular atrophy)

CaseHPOFreeText: atrophic macular lesions

CaseNOTHPOs: HP:0011507 (macular flecks)

CasePreviousTesting: Five clinically confirmed unrelated patients with Stargardt disease and their available family members were enrolled for genetic analysis. Study subjects underwent a complete ophthalmic examination including measurement of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit lamp biomicroscopy, detailed fundus examination, fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and full field electroretinography (ERG). Fifty normal controls without any history of eye diseases were included.

GenotypingMethod: NGS panel testing targeting 184 genes with previously known pathogenic variations associated with multiple eye disorders. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from all subjects.

Bioinformatic analyses of an SQL-based database containing 12272 variants that appear in 178 IRD genes in 5706 individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish origin based on the gnomAD database (version 2) and variants that were published in the scientific literature that was extracted from HGMD. Authors extracted information regarding IRD variants from various sources (including data of 5706 Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) samples and a large cohort of Israeli patients with IRDs) to estimate carrier frequency of IRD mutations in different subpopulations in Israel. Two major databases aiming to estimate carrier frequency of IRD mutations in the Israeli population (Fig. 1): “gnomAD-AJ-IRD DB” containing data of 5706 AJ controls extracted from gnomAD and “HW-IRD DB” containing data extracted from our cohort of Israeli patients with IRDs.

See Fig 2 for breakdown of variants analyzed.

The final DB (IRDB) (Fig. 1 and Table S7) includes all 399 variants from “gnomAD-AJ-IRD DB” and “HW-IRD DB” that were considered here as pathogenic mutations in 111 known IRD genes.

To establish the “HW-IRD DB” (Fig. 1), we collected data on Israeli IRD patients with a known cause of disease (a cohort of >2000 IRD families). The HW-IRD DB includes 289 pathogenic mutations (Fig. 1) that were identified in IRD patients who have biallelic variants.

SupplementalData: S7, carrier frequency data for each mutation in all nine studied subpopulations. Carrier frequency was calculated as 2pq where p = 1 − q and q was calculated as the root square of the number of homozygous patients plus half the number of compound heterozygous patients divided by the population size

GenotypingMethod: Mutation screening was performed by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) strategy of the whole coding region of ABCA4. Direct sequencing was also performed on siblings of probands and parents, when available, to confirm segregation of alleles.
