Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine age-related macular degeneration (AMD) phenotypes associated with mutually exclusive homozygotic risk variants in rs1061170 (CFH) and rs11200638 (HTRA1). METHODS: Nested case-control study of 2,982 eyes (2,129 control, 809 drusen ≥125 μm, 44 advanced AMD) homozygous for CFH [TT or CC] and HTRA1 [GG or AA] were analyzed using logistic regression and generalized estimating equations...
