[Update on the genetics of age-related macular degeneration].

Journal francais d'ophtalmologie - 1 Jun 2008

Fajnkuchen F, Cohen S Y

Abstract excerpt

The relationship between genetics and age-related macular degeneration is well established. Heritability has been estimated to be up to 70%. Recent studies have identified several chromosomal regions that are likely to contain susceptibility loci. Common variations in three genes (CFH, LOC 387715 and C2-FB) strongly influence the risk of age-related macular degeneration. New findings in the field of the genetics...
