To compare the published results of studies on the genotype association of ARMS2/LOC387715 A69S, CFH Y402H, and CFH I62V in cases diagnosed as retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) versus neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or healthy controls.
ARMS2A69S polymorphism is associated with the number of ranibizumab injections needed for exudative age-related macular degeneration in a pro re nata regimen during 4 years of follow-up.
CFH Y402H and ARMS2A69S Polymorphisms and Oral Supplementation with Docosahexaenoic Acid in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Patients: The NAT2 Study.
In this study, we found that the interaction of ARMS2 and ARMS2/HTRA1 is significantly associated with nAMD, and the interaction of CFH and ARMS2 is pronounced in PCV development in Chinese population.
A study was undertaken to investigate the association between A69S in age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) and the response to anti-angiogenesis treatment in exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The variants in CFH, ARMS2 and near HTRA1 were strongly associated with both PCV (P < 10(-6), 10(-7) and 10(-7) respectively) and nAMD (P < 10(-6), 10(-16) and 10(-17) respectively).
Three previously reported associations of response to VEGF inhibition in nAMD involving single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the CFH, FZD4, and HTRA1/ARMS2 loci were tested for replication.
differentiate the associations of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with the ARMS2/HTRA1 locus.
The association of age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 polymorphisms with phenotype in typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
To investigate whether the A69S variant of the age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 gene (ARMS2) has a different hereditary contribution in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
To compare the genomic contribution of the ARMS2/HTRA1 region of chromosome 10q26 to typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) (also known as typical exudative AMD) and to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) METHODS: DNA samples were prepared from 84 patients with typical nAMD, 181 patients with PCV, and 276 control participants.
To investigate the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes in the genes encoding age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (LOC387715/ARMS2) and high-temperature requirement A-1 (HTRA1) in a case-control study in a Chinese cohort of individuals with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
