Abstract excerpt
Several variants in the complement cascade genes (complement factor H [CFH], C2, C3, CFB, and Serping1) have been reported to associate with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Of these, a member of the complement alternative pathway, CFH, represents the highest risk. As properdin (P) is also...
