Figure 4. Pathogenicity evidence of the
ABCA4 missense variants in the study following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics / Association for Molecular
Pathology (ACMG/AMP) guidelines. Our study provides varying degrees of moderate and supporting evidence on nine missense
ABCA4 variants. According to the latest ACMG/AMP guidelines, multiple lines of computational evidence provide a third degree of
supporting evidence. In addition, the genotypic and phenotypic information obtained from our retrospective patient cohort
provided further evidence of pathogenicity. Note that the functional evidence given here is derived from a literature search
and is cited in
