Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine if the complement factor H gene (CFH) determines risk for development of geographic atrophy (GA). DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study. PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROLS: The independent case-control data set contained 647 age-related macular degeneration (AMD) cases (grades 3...
