New loci and coding variants confer risk for age-related macular degeneration in East Asians

Ching-Yu Cheng, +103 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that some of the genetic loci conferring AMD susceptibility in East Asians are shared with Europeans, yet AMD in East Asia may also have a distinct genetic signature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Preferred Practice Pattern®.

TL;DR: This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pachychoroid neovasculopathy and age-related macular degeneration.

TL;DR: Results implicate that the etiologies of the two conditions must be different, and it will be necessary to distinguish these two conditions in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of gene–environment-wide association scans accounting for education level identifies additional loci for refractive error

Qiao Fan, +172 more
TL;DR: Six novel loci (FAM150B-ACP1, LINC00340, FBN1, DIS3L-MAP2K1, ARID2-SNAT1 and SLC14A2) associated with refractive error are identified and represent an important advance in understanding how gene and environment interactions contribute to the heterogeneity of myopia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of myopia-associated WNT7B polymorphisms provides insights into the mechanism underlying the development of myopia

TL;DR: A two-stage genome-wide association study for three myopia-related traits in 9,804 Japanese individuals was extended with trans-ethnic replication in 2,674 Chinese and 2,690 Caucasian individuals, suggesting its possible role in the development of myopia.

Ranibizumab and bevacizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

TL;DR: Ranibizumab given as needed with monthly evaluation had effects on vision that were equivalent to those of ranibizuab administered monthly, although the comparison between bevacizumAB as needed and monthly bevicizumabs was inconclusive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of age-related maculopathy. The Beaver Dam Eye Study.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between retinal drusen, retinal pigmentary abnormalities, and macular degeneration to age and sex was studied in 4926 people between the ages of 43 and 86 years who participated in the Beaver Dam Eye Study.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Beaver Dam Eye Study. Retinopathy in adults with newly discovered and previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy was examined in people with newly discovered noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (n = 50) and in those with previously diagnosed diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Five-year Incidence and Progression of Age-related Maculopathy: The Beaver Dam Eye Study

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the presence of soft drusen and pigmentary abnormalities significantly increases the risk for the development of geographic atrophy and exudative macular degeneration in people 75 years of age or older, and in women compared with men that age.
