Apolipoprotein E genotype is associated with macular pigment optical density.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science - 1 May 2010

Loane Edward, McKay Gareth J, Nolan John M, Beatty Stephen

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness in older people in developed countries, and risk factors for this condition may be classified as genetic and environmental. Apolipoprotein E is putatively involved in the transport of the macular pigment (MP) carotenoids lutein (L) and zeaxanthin (Z) in serum and may also influence retinal capture of these compounds. This study...
