There was no significant difference in the incidence of CFHY402H (P = 0.598) and HTRA1 rs11200638 (P = 0.290) between eyes with typical exudative AMD and with PCV.

To investigate whether the LOC387715/ARMS2 variants are associated with an angiographic phenotype, including lesion size and composition, in subfoveal polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
The aim of this study was to validate the previously reported association of the PEDFMet72Thr variant in a well characterized Japanese population with neovascular AMD and PCV.
We performed an association analysis between PCV and polymorphisms across the C2-CFB-RDBP-SKIV2L region in a Japanese population, genotyping 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning this region, including rs9332739 (E318D), rs547154, rs4151667 (L9H), and rs641153 (rs641153" genes_norm="629">R32Q) that are known to be associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

The association pattern and haplotype estimation in the ARMS2/HTRA1 region of Japanese patients with PCV were very similar to those of Japanese patients with typical nAMD.
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.

Four AMD-associated haplotype-tagging alleles (rs547154, rs1061170, rs1410996, rs10490924) in the 3 major loci, CFH, CFB/C2, and ARMS2/HTRA1, also were statistically significantly associated with the PCV phenotype (P<0.05).
