Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate polymorphisms in the pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) gene in a Chinese cohort with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), Met72Thr (rs1136287) and -5736T>C (rs12150053), were genotyped, and four tagSNPs (tSNPs) were detected statistically in the PEDF gene of 168 exudative AMD patients and 230 age- and...
