The Epidemiology of Stargardt Disease in the United Kingdom

Even considering possible limitations related to incomplete ascertainment, this is the first prospective epidemiology study that provides indication of the incidence of STGD in the United Kingdom. The incidence of STGD estimated herein appears to be lower than that repeatedly quoted in the literature. Fundus autofluoresence and electrophysiology testing are most commonly used for the evaluation of patients with STGD.
