Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A minority of patients with adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AFVD) carry mutations in the PRPH2 gene. This gene is highly polymorphic and it was suggested that single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PRPH2 may also be associated with AFVD. We aimed to evaluate for such an association. METHODS: A single center cohort from a tertiary referral center including 52 consecutive patients with...
