TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that rare coding variants can pinpoint causal genes within known genetic loci and illustrate that applying the approach systematically to detect new loci requires extremely large sample sizes.

TL;DR: A collaborative genome-wide association study, including >17,100 advanced AMD cases and >60,000 controls of European and Asian ancestry, identifies 19 loci associated at P < 5 × 10−8, which show enrichment for genes involved in the regulation of complement activity, lipid metabolism, extracellular matrix remodeling and angiogenesis.

TL;DR: All 3 anti-VEGF groups showed VA improvement from baseline to 2 years with a decreased number of injections in year 2, and among eyes with worse baseline VA, a flibercept had superior 2-year VA outcomes compared with bevacizumab, but superiority of aflibercept over ranibizumAB, noted at 1 year, was no longer identified.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association scan for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) showed that 329 of 331 individuals with the highest-risk genotypes were cases, and 85% of these had advanced AMD, consistent with the hypothesis that HDL metabolism is associated with AMD pathogenesis.

TL;DR: The purpose of this document is to identify specific strategies for the delivery of IVT injection that may reduce risks and improve outcomes, and to identify outstanding issues in need of further investigation.
