Association of variants in the LIPC and ABCA1 genes with intermediate and large drusen and advanced age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE Intermediate and large drusen usually precede advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). There is little information about which genes influence drusen accumulation. Discovery of genetic variants associated with drusen may lead to prevention and treatments of AMD in its early stages. METHODS A total of 3066 subjects were evaluated on the basis of ocular examinations and fundus p...

Both of the case and cont...
متن کاملThe Association between LIPC rs493258 Polymorphism and the Susceptibility to Age-Related Macular Degeneration
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of the hepatic lipase (LIPC) rs493258 polymorphism and susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). A systematic search in PubMed, EMBASE, and ISI web of science databases was performed to identify eligible published studies without language restrictions up to April 2016. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval...
متن کاملAssociation of Apolipoprotein E Alleles with Susceptibility to Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Iranian Patients
Background: We aimed here to investigate the association between alleles and genotypes of APOE and Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) development. Materials and Methods: After ophthalmological examination, 120 patients with confirmed AMD and 120 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. The polymorphic segment of APOE gene was PCR-amplified and sequenced to determine the frequency distr...
متن کاملthe genetics of age-related macular degeneration
age-related macular degeneration (amd) is the leading cause of blindness in old subjects. it is a multifactorial disease with both environmental and genetic factors playing some role in its pathogenesis. similar to many other genetic diseases, the inheritance pattern of amd does not fit into simple mendelian rules. these diseases are caused by the presence of multiple genetic factors and are ca...
