Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Understanding the effect of genes on progression to different stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) may suggest stage-specific therapeutic targets and more precise prediction of the development of this disease. METHODS: Progression events and time to each stage of AMD were derived from the longitudinal data of 2560 subjects without advanced AMD. SNPs in 12 AMD risk loci were genotyped. A...
