Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic variants in genes encoding components of lipid metabolism have been associated with AMD. The aims of this study were to evaluate the relation of these genetic variants with serum lipid levels in AMD in a large case-control cohort (n = 3070) and to test for correlations between lipids and complement activation. METHODS: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight lipid metabolism genes,...
