We explored the occurrence of seven rare variants independently associated with AMD (<i>CFH</i> rs121913059 (p.Arg1210Cys), <i>CFI</i> rs141853578 (p.Gly119Arg), <i>C3</i> rs147859257 (p.Lys155Gln), and <i>C9</i> rs34882957 (p.Pro167Ser)) and three non-coding variants in or near the <i>CFH</i> gene (rs148553336, rs35292876, and rs191281603) in 24 AMD case-control studies.
In this study, we reveal five novel rare genetic variants (p.M45L, p.F62S, p.G126R, p.T170I and p.A529T) in C9 in AMD patients, and evaluate their functional effects in vitro together with the previously identified (p.R118W and p.P167S) C9 variants.
