Chlamydia pneumoniae infection, complement factor H variants and age-related macular degeneration.

The British journal of ophthalmology - 1 Mar 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Impaired inhibition of the alternative complement pathway by complement factor H (CFH) is linked to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) based on the strong association between CFH variant and AMD. Chlamydia pneumoniae (C pneumoniae) infection can trigger the alternative pathwa...
