The polymorphism rs10490924 (A69S) in the age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) gene is highly associated with age-related macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness among the elderly population. ARMS2 gene encodes a putative small (11 kDa) protein, which the function and localization of the ARMS2 protein remain under debate. For a better understanding of functional impacts of A69S...
