Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Variations in the complement factor H (CFH) gene are tightly associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) across diverse populations. Of the many nonsynonymous coding variants in CFH, two are most strongly associated with increased risk of AMD: isoleucine 62 to valine (I62V) and tyrosine 402 to histidine (Y402H). Detection of these variations in a patient's blood is important for a risk...
