Loss of Complement Factor H impairs antioxidant capacity and energy metabolism of human RPE cells
2020-01-08
Abstract excerpt
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly population. About 50% of AMD patients present polymorphisms in the Complement Factor H ( CFH ) gene, coding for Factor H protein (FH). AMD-associated CFH risk variants, Y402H in particular, impair FH function leading to complement overactivation. In AMD, retinal homeostasis is compromised due to dysfunction of retinal pigment...
