Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Multiple studies demonstrate a strong association between three variants at chromosome 10q26 - rs10490924, del443ins54, and rs11200638 - near the age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) and high-temperature requirement factor A1 (HTRA1) genes with susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In different reports, the del443ins54 and rs11200638 variants are suggested to affect ARMS2...
