Leucocyte telomere length in age-related macular degeneration.

Acta ophthalmologica - 1 Aug 2013

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between telomere length and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: Circulating leucocyte telomere length and the proportion of telomeres <5 kb were analysed in blood DNA samples taken from 121 patients with exudative AMD (83%), large drusen (14%) or central geographic atrophy (3%). Controls consisted of 77 age-matched subjects without AMD. The AMD status was assessed...
