Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative ocular disease, which may lead to loss of central vision. In Caucasian populations, a strong correlation has been established with polymorphism Y402H (rs1061170) in the complement factor H gene (CFH). The H131R polymorphism (rs1801274) in the FCGR2A gene has been associated with many inflammatory diseases, but has not been investigated in...
