Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness in industrialized countries. There has been considerable interest in the genetics of early age-related maculopathy (ARM) and AMD, because they have phenotypes similar to inherited diseases where mutations have been identified, but the heritability of ARM and AMD is unknown. DESIGN: A classical twin study was performed to...
