Mutations in MERTK are not associated with age-related macular degeneration.

International ophthalmology - 1 Jan 2019

Al-Khersan Hasenin, Kwong Alan, Grassi Michael A

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To assess whether mutations in Mer tyrosine kinase (MERTK) are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: An association study using whole-genome sequencing was performed to determine whether rare variants in MERTK are associated with AMD. The data set included 4787 propensity score-matched case-control samples: 2394 AMD cases and 2393 controls. Whole-genome sequencing was performed...
