Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6) has been reported to be a novel disease gene for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Caucasians. This study aimed to investigate whether rs6982567 was associated with neovascular AMD (nAMD) or polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in a Han Chinese cohort. METHODS: A total of 612 participants (251 PCV patients, 157 nAMD patients and 204 controls) were...
