Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To explore the association between the genetics of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and extramacular drusen (EMD) in patients with and without AMD. Methods: We included 1753 eyes (912 subjects) with phenotypic characterization regarding AMD and EMD. Genetic sequencing and the genetic risk score (GRS) for AMD were performed according to the EYE-RISK consortium methodology. To test for differences in...
