Purpose Malattia Leventinese/Doyne Honeycomb Retinal Dystrophy is a rare, inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by drusen formation and early vision loss. Its phenotypical similarities with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) make Malattia Leventinese a valuable monogenetic disease model for AMD. Identifying...

Stargardt disease (STGD1) is the most common inherited macular dystrophy. It is caused by biallelic variants in the ABCA4 gene and leads to impaired retinoid transport within photoreceptors. Disruption of retinoid clearance results in the accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which in turn...

Findings further support AP5B1 as a cause of macular dystrophy, identify p.(Leu785Pro) as a relatively frequent pathogenic allele in individuals of European and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, and expand the associated phenotypic spectrum to include both isolated macular dystrophy and possible syndromic presentations.
