Abstract
Stargardt disease (STGD1) is caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene. It has previously been reported that abnormalities in STGD1 may be detectable in the photoreceptors using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) prior to the detection of retinal pigment epithelium abnormalities. We present a 5-year-old asymptomatic girl with normal appearing fundi who possessed pathogenic ABCA4 variants on both chromosomes and where thickening of the external limiting membrane was the only abnormality detected on SD-OCT.Entities:
