Overview

This multicenter, prospective, longitudinal, observational study in approximately 80 subjects with Stargardt disease secondary to biallelic mutations in the ABCA4 gene (STGD1) aims to evaluate prognostic factors of disease progression, and to further characterize the patient population for future clinical studies.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:
