The association between macular pigment optical density and CFH, ARMS2, C2/BF, and C3 genotype.

Experimental eye research - 1 Nov 2011

Abstract excerpt

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness in older people in developed countries, and risk for this condition may be classified as genetic or environmental, with an interaction between such factors predisposing to this disease. This study investigated the relationship between AMD risk genes, macular pigment optical density (MPOD), which may protect against AMD, and serum...
