ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the possible correlation factors of choroidal thickness in ABCA4 -related retinopathy.METHODS:
A total of 66 patients were included in the cohort. It is a retrospective, cross-sectional laboratory investigation. The patients were tested using whole-exon sequencing and ophthalmic examinations, including slit-lamp examinations, best-corrected visual acuity, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, fundus photograph, and fundus autofluorescence.RESULTS:
Besides demographic characteristics (age, onset age, duration), we selected genetic factors and ocular characteristics on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography as the candidates related to choroidal thickness. Mutation type (inframe mutation or premature termination codon), epiretinal membrane, retinal pigment epithelium- Bruch membrane integrity, and macular curvature changes were identified as related factors to choroidal thickness in ABCA4 -related retinopathy after the adjustment of Logistic LASSO regression.CONCLUSION:
Mutation type, epiretinal membrane, retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch membrane integrity, and macular curvature changes are related factors to choroidal thinning. These findings could provide us a further understanding for the pathological process and clinical features of ABCA4 mutation.
