Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the association of the rs2301995 haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (htSNP) in the elastin gene (ELN) with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in European-American patients. METHODS: Association analysis of allele and genotype frequencies, determined by TaqMan assays, was performed for the rs2301995 haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (htSNP) in the ELN locus...
