Abstract excerpt
Drusen is a hallmark of human age-related maculopathy. Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) represent a natural model of age-related maculopathy with drusen. We have already mapped the macular drusen susceptibility locus in rhesus macaques to the homolog of human chromosome 6q14-15 and shown that a particular IMPG1 gene SNP haplotype was apparently associated with drusen formation in the rhesus macaques maintained by...
