Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To determine the associations of the VEGFA, VEGFB, and placental growth factor (PGF) genes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). METHODS: Seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in VEGFA, three SNPs in VEGFB, and five SNPs in PGF were genotyped in 1722 unrelated Chinese participants, including a Hong Kong cohort of 214 nAMD patients,...
