Abstract

BACKGROUND: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial degenerative ocular disease that leads to loss of central vision. Functional gene polymorphisms have already been associated with the disease (for example,

AIM: The goal of our study was to verify the correlation of the aforementioned

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Genomic DNAs were isolated from blood samples of 103 healthy controls and 120 Greek patients with wet AMD who were age- and sex-matched, and all of whom were clinically evaluated. For the genotyping of all selected polymorphisms, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was performed.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed the association between the
