BACKGROUND: Previous reports suggest that the outcome of age-related macular degeneration treatment is dependent on variants in the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. We wish to establish if variants in this gene are associated with anatomical location of fluid within the macula on optical coherence tomography imaging before and after three anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatments. METHODS: Patients with...
