Case#: 1 male, 6 years old, from Taiwanese and Korean decent.

DiseaseAssertion: ABCA4-related retinopathy Stargardt disease

FamilyInfo: Single affected individual. Paternal uncle presented with Stargart disease previously, and Taiwanese and Korean descent underwent genetic testing to identify two pathogenic variants in the ABCA4 gene. One of the variants found was the same ABCA4 variant from the originally affected individual. No additional family information is provided in text.
