Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a highly prevalent and impactful disease of aging, is inarguably influenced by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Various risk scores have been tested that assess measurable genetic and environmental contributions to disease. We herein summarize and review the ability and utility of these numerous models for prediction of AMD ...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible central vision loss, typically affecting individuals from mid-life onwards. Its multifactorial aetiology and lack any effective treatments has spurred development animal models as research drug discovery tools. Several rodent have been developed which recapitulate key features AMD provide insights into its underlying pa...

Background: Early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been correlated with different functional alterations, but the exact relationship between fundus lesions and overlying sensitivity is not well known. The aim of this study was to compare fundus-related sensitivity (microperimetry) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) of the macular area with drusen and pigment abnormalities in early AMD....

PURPOSE To determine the frequency of complement factor H (Y402H) and age related macular degeneration susceptibility gene 2 (A69S) single nucleotide polymorphisms in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and in matched non-AMD controls in an Iranian population. METHODS Seventy patients with AMD and 86 age- and sex-matched controls were recruited and examined. Peripheral blood ...

The role of retinal microglial cells (MCs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is unclear. Here we demonstrated that all retinal MCs express CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) and that homozygosity for the CX3CR1 M280 allele, which is associated with impaired cell migration, increases the risk of AMD. In humans with AMD, MCs accumulated in the subretinal space at sites of retinal degenera...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness in Australia, rising in prevalence from zero in people aged under 55 years to 18.5% in those aged over 85 years. More women suffer from the disease and it is estimated that 72,220 Australians may have signs of late AMD in one or both eyes. Degenerative processes in the retina include the appearance of abnormal drüsen (...

The central region of the primate retina is called macula. The fovea is located at the center of the macula, where the photoreceptors are concentrated to create neural network adapted for high visual acuity. Damage to the fovea by macular dystrophies and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can reduce the central visual acuity. The molecular mechanisms leading to these diseases are most likel...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common yet complex retinal degeneration that causes irreversible central blindness in the elderly. Pathology is widely believed to follow loss of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor degeneration. Here we report aberrant expression of interleukin-17A (IL17A) and the receptor IL17RC in the macula of AMD patients. In vitro, IL17A induces R...
