Abstract excerpt
The genetic association between a variant in the Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) gene (C1234T in mRNA, L412F in protein, Reference SNP Cluster Report rs3775291) and geographic atrophy (GA; also called advanced "dry" age-related macular degeneration) was controversial in previous studies. We performed a meta-analysis by pooling the current evidence in literature and found that the T allele of the TLR3 C1234T variant...
