Interruption of the visual cycle in a novel animal model induces progressive vision loss resembling Stargardts Disease

Abstract Mutations in the gene ABCA4 coding for photoreceptor-specific ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 4, are responsible for Stargardts Disease type 1 (STGD1), the most common form of inherited macular degeneration.
