Analysis of rare variants in the complement component 2 (C2) and factor B (BF) genes refine association for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science - 1 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the C2 and BF genes have been associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Caucasian populations from the United States. The study was conducted to evaluate whether these SNPs are also associated with AMD in persons of Anglo-...
