Stargardts macular dystrophy is a genetic disorder with an estimated incidence of 1 in 10,000. It is almost always inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder, with only 10% cases resulting from dominant mode of inheritance. Mutations in Stargardts disease gene ABCA4 can result in different macular dystrophies like fundus flavimaculatus, cone rod dystrophy and autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa.[1] Variable presentations of different macular dystrophies in the members of same family are reported, but two distinct dystrophies affecting cornea and retina among siblings have rarely been reported.
