Genetic variants near TIMP3 and high-density lipoprotein–associated loci influence susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration

Wei Chen, +69 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic control of the alternative pathway of complement in humans and age-related macular degeneration

TL;DR: The data are consistent with a disease model in which genetic variation in the complement system increases the risk of AMD by a combination of systemic complement activation and abnormal regulation of complement activation in local tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of copy number variation in the regulation of complement activation locus to development of age-related macular degeneration.

TL;DR: Deletion of CFHR3 and CFHR1 protected against the development of AMD at least in part because the deletion tagged a protective haplotype and did not occur on the risk haplotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive assessment of genetic variants within TCF4 in Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy.

TL;DR: Complete sequencing of the TCF4 genomic region revealed no single causative variant for FECD, and an intronic expansion of the repeating trinucleotides, TGC, continues to be more strongly associated with FECD than any other genetic variant.
