Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationships between variants in adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) with advanced forms of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility. METHODS: A total of 189 advanced AMD patients and 168 controls were recruited. Seven tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ADIPOQ were genotyped by the SNaPshot method. RESULTS: Alleles or genotypes of rs822396 distributed significantly...
