Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly worldwide. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been linked to the risk of developing AMD. We aimed to examine the association between AMD and SNPs on CFH, ARMS2 and HTRA1 in Egyptians, a previously unstudied population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted from 26 AMD patients...
