Despite determination of ABCA4 as the causative gene, clinicians have been challenged by variability in clinical phenotypes. Given the recent initiation of clinical trials to assess novel treatments (e.g. gene therapy), there is a need to identify patients with the worst prognosis.\n\nThe investigators have observed that pediatric patients lose central visual function faster than their adult counterparts. Thus, they present an ideal cohort with which to determine the utility of novel modalities to detect early change. These include flavoprotein fluorescence, a new imaging technique for detecting mitochondrial dysfunction developed at the University of Michigan. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is another commonly utilized technique of evaluating hereditary eye diseases. The investigators have developed a novel means of quantifying FAF signatures that will allow documentation of severity as well as detection of progression.', 'detailedDescription': 'This study will evaluate whether more sophisticated testing and analytic methodologies, including fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and a novel non-invasive method to measure retinal flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) may be used to better predict Stargardt macular dystrophy progression and monitor treatment effects than conventional modalities such visual acuity and visual field. This method involves the use of novel statistical methods to assess the heterogeneity of fundus autofluorescence images.\n\nParticipants will complete 3 visits to the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. Each visit will take approximately 2.5 hours. The initial visit will include a routine clinical eye examination, measurement of best-corrected visual acuity, indirect ophthalmoscopy, microperimetry, frequency-domain optical coherence tomography, Goldmann visual fields, fundus flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) imaging, and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and fundus photography. Patients will return for evaluation at 6 and 12 months after their initial visit to repeat testing and imaging.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '18 Years', 'minimumAge': '5 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'We will perform an observational clinical study of 25 pediatric patients with Stargardt Disease recruited from the retinal degeneration clinic at the University of Michigan who have two mutations in ABCA4.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Between the age of 5 and 18 years old\n* Clinical diagnosis of Stargardt Disease\n* Molecular confirmation of Stargardt Disease (with 2 identified mutations in ABCA4)\n* Visual acuity better than 20/100\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Limited central vision, defined as visual acuity worse than 20/100\n* A diagnosis of any other retinal degenerative disease'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01676766', 'briefTitle': 'Novel Quantification Methods for Fluorescence to Detect Progression in Stargardt Disease', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Michigan'}, 'officialTitle': 'Novel Quantification Methods for Fundus Flavoprotein Fluorescence and Lipofuscin Fluorescence to Detect Progression in Stargardt Disease', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'HUM 64388'}}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '48105', 'city': 'Ann Arbor', 'state': 'Michigan', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Kellogg Eye Center', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 42.27756, 'lon': -83.74088}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'K.
