Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Association of rs800292 (I62V) in the complement factor H (CFH) gene with anterior uveitis (AU) was identified in our previous study. We proceeded to investigate whether polymorphisms of two tightly linked genes in the complement pathway, complement component 2 (C2) and complement factor B (CFB), are associated with AU. METHODS: Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1048709, rs537160, rs4151657,...
