Since the discovery of the ABCA4 gene as the cause of autosomal recessive Stargardt
disease/fundus flavimaculatus much has been written of the phenotypic variability in ABCA4
retinopathy. In this review the authors discuss the findings seen on examination and the
disease features detected using various clinical tests. Important differential diagnoses are
presented and unusual presentations of ABCA4 disease highlighted.
