Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Complement factor H (CFH) polymorphism Y402H has been shown to be significantly associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Furthermore, histopathological studies in AMD have implicated basal laminar deposits (BLD) in the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) membranes. The purpose of this study was to correlate CFH staining in BLD with the CFH genotype at the tyrosine 402...
