Abstract excerpt
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of AMD have identified dozens of risk loci that may house disease targets. However, variants at these loci are largely noncoding, making it difficult to assess their function and whether they are causal. Here, we present a single-cell gene expression and chromatin accessibility atlas of...
