Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: A region within chromosome 10q26 has a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that define a haplotype that confers high risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We used a bioinformatics approach to search for genes in this region that may be responsible for risk for AMD by assessing levels of gene expression in individuals carrying different haplotypes and by searching for open chromatin...
