The lipid translocase, ABCA4: seeing is believing

Abstract

Mutations to members of the A subfamily of ATP binding cassette (ABC) proteins are responsible for a number of diseases; typically they are associated with aberrant cellular lipid transport processes. Mutations to the ABCA4 protein are linked to a number of visual disorders including Stargardt’s disease and retinitis pigmentosa. Over 500 disease‐associated mutations in ABCA4 have been demonstrated; however, the genotype–phenotype link has not been firmly established. This shortfall is primarily because the function of ABCA4 in the visual cycle is not yet fully understood. One hypothesis suggests that ABCA4 mediates the trans‐bilayer translocation of retinal‐phosphatidylethanolamine conjugates to facilitate the retinal regeneration process in the visual cycle. This review examines the evidence to support, or refute, this working hypothesis on the function of this clinically important protein.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Most genes encoding retinoid cycle enzymes are associated with retinal disease.

    “Most of the genes encoding retinoid cycle enzymes are associated with retinal disease (Figure 36).64,76,77,285,547−552”

    From Chemistry of the Retinoid (Visual) Cycle (2014) · cites this paper as [77]

    The Abbreviations section (p. 1) links ABCA4 mutations to visual disorders, and the retinoid-cycle overview (p. 3) places ABCA4 in that cycle. The paper does not establish that *most genes encoding retinoid-cycle enzymes* are associated with retinal disease; its disease discussion focuses on ABCA4. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
