Stargardt macular degeneration (SMD) is an inherited retinal disorder characterized by progressive loss of normal vision. It is caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene, which codes for a protein that plays an important role in photoreceptor metabolism. The disease typically appears in childhood or young adulthood and results in a gradual loss of visual acuity that can significantly impair the quality of life of patients. Characteristic symptoms include fine-mesh or mosaic pigment changes in the macula, decreased contrast sensitivity, and the appearance of small dark spots in the central visual field.<\/p>\n
