TL;DR: It is shown that factor H (HF1), the major inhibitor of the alternative complement pathway, accumulates within drusen and is synthesized by the retinal pigmented epithelium, implicating HF1 function in the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying AMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
TL;DR: The concept that AMD can be attributed to cumulative oxidative stress is enticing, but remains unproven, and the effect of nutritional antioxidant supplements on the onset and natural course of age-related macular disease is currently being evaluated.
Prevalence of agerelated macular degeneration in the united states
TL;DR: Age-related macular degeneration was far more prevalent among white than among black persons, and the number of persons having AMD will increase by 50% to 2.95 million in 2020.
