Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To evaluate the association between vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene polymorphism and the risk of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a case-control study in a Chinese cohort. METHODS: We genotyped 4 common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), namely -460T/C (rs833061), +405C/G (rs2010963), +674C/T (rs1413711) and +936C/T (rs3025039), simultaneously detected 7 tag SNPs...
