Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the contribution of copy number variation (CNV) in the regulation of complement activation (RCA) locus to the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: A multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay was developed to quantify the number of copies of CFH, CFHR3, CFHR1, CFHR4, CFHR2, and CFHR5 in humans. Subjects with (451) and without (362) AMD were genotyped...
