To determine the impact of <i>HTRA1</i> rs1120638, <i>TIMP3</i> rs9621532, <i>VEGFA</i> rs833068, <i>CFI</i> rs10033900, <i>ERCC6</i> rs3793784, and <i>KCTD10</i> rs56209061 genotypes on the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the Lithuanian population.
Polychotomous logistic regression showed a trend that rs9621532 correlates with less severe disease, for example, with the majority of carriers having intermediate AMD rather than nAMD/geographic atrophy AMD.
Recently, two genome-wide association studies with large cohorts both identified rs9621532, a new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that is associated with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and located near the TIMP3 gene.
