Genetic biomarkers in the VEGF pathway predicting response to anti-VEGF therapy in age-related macular degeneration
1 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a leading cause of visual impairment. Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are the standard treatment for wet ARMD. There is however, variability in patient responses, suggesting patient-specific factors influencing drug efficacy. We tested whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding VEGF pathway...
