Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To compare phenotypes of 2 age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility genes: LOC387715 and complement factor H (CFH). METHODS: Phenotypes of 755 AMD cases were characterized. The number of LOC387715 (T allele at rs10490924, or A69S) and CFH (T1277C at rs1061170, or Y402H) risk alleles were determined in each case. Individuals were divided into 5 groups by genotype: group 1, LOC-/- CFH-/-;...
