Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex, multifactorial disease associated
with environmental and genetic factors. This review emphasizes the clinical impact of the
major genetic factors mainly located in the complement factor H gene and on the 10q26
locus, and their current and future implications for the management of AMD.
Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex, multifactorial disease associated with environmental and genetic factors. This review emphasizes the clinical impact of the major genetic factors mainly located in the complement factor H gene and on the 10q26 locus, and their current and future implications for the management of AMD.
