Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine whether the ABCA4 retinopathy-associated variant p.Asn1868Ile (c.5603A>T) is associated with retinal structure or subclinical disease among the general population. METHODS: UK Biobank participants of European ancestry with available spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) passing quality control metrics and exome sequencing data were included. Regression analyses using both linear and recessive models tested for the association between the p.Asn1868Ile variant and total retinal thickness, clinically relevant segmented layer thicknesses, and visual acuity. Further regression analyses were performed with automated quality control metrics to determine if the p.Asn1868Ile variant is associated with poor quality or abnormal scans. RESULTS: Retinal layer segmentation and sequencing data for the p.Asn1868Ile variant were available for 26,558 participants, following exclusions. We identified no significant association between the p.Asn1868Ile variant and retinal thickness, any of the segmented layers, or visual acuity. There was also no significant difference for homozygous p.Asn1868Ile when tested under the assumption of a recessive model. No association was identified for any of the quality control metrics, and a χ2 test showed that participants with the p.Asn1868Ile variant were not more likely to be excluded during quality control due to poor quality scans (P = 0.56). CONCLUSIONS: The p.Asn1868Ile variant does not appear to affect the retinal structure or have pathogenic or subclinical effects on its own within the general population. The variant is likely to require other specific cis- or trans-acting modifying factors to cause ABCA4 retinopathy.
