A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants

Lars G. Fritsche, +185 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration

Lars G. Fritsche, +185 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Elevated Serum Lipid Levels With Retinal Hard Exudate in Diabetic Retinopathy: Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Report 22

TL;DR: Elevated serum lipid levels are demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk of retinal hard exudate in persons with diabetic retinopathy, and Preservation of vision may be an additional motivating factor for lowering serum cholesterol levels in people with diabetic Retinopathy and elevated serum lipid Levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Choroidal Neovascularization in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography angiography provides depth-resolved information and detailed images of CNV in neovascular AMD and provides more distinct vascular network patterns that were less obscured by subretinal hemorrhage.
