Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants of high-temperature requirement A serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) and age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). One HTRA1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is situated in the promotor region (rs11200638) resulting in increased expression, while two synonymous SNPs are located in exon 1 (rs1049331:C > T, rs2293870:G > T). HtrA1 is...
