ATP binding cassette transporter retina genotypes and age related macular degeneration: an analysis on exudative non-familial Japanese patients.
AIM To determine whether mutations in the Stargardt's disease gene, ATP binding cassette transporter retina (ABCR) affect the occurrence of age related macular degeneration (AMD) in Japanese non-familial patients. METHODS 80 unrelated Japanese patients with AMD (67 males and 13 females; mean age, 67.2 years) diagnosed by indocyanine green angiography and 100 age matched control subjects were ...
متن کامل[Vitreomacular traction in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration].
We have read with interest the article by Dr. Filloy and Arias1 under the title “Response to ranibizumab in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) with vitreomacular traction” in which they conclude that in these patients the tendency is to diminished visual acuity, requiring a higher number of intravitreal injections. Recently, Mayr-Sponer et al.2 published a paper under the...
متن کاملIntravitreal triamcinolone acetonide for exudative age-related macular degeneration among Japanese patients.
AIM To study the results of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (TA) for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) among Japanese patients. METHODS 13 eyes of 12 Japanese patients (9 males and 3 females) with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) of exudative AMD received intravitreal TA (8 mg). Visual acuity, size of CNV and serous retinal detachment, and complications related...
متن کاملThe second eye of Japanese patients with unilateral exudative age related macular degeneration.
AIM To clarify the incidence of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and predisposing findings for development of CNV in the second eye of Japanese patients with unilateral exudative age related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS The second eyes of unilaterally affected patients with exudative (neovascular) AMD treated in our clinic during the past 10 years (1988-97) were carefully followed up...
متن کاملTreatment of Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration: Focus on Aflibercept
A formulation of aflibercept for intravitreal injection (Eylea) is approved for the treatment of patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Aflibercept has a significantly higher affinity for Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A compared with other monoclonal anti-VEGF antibodies. In addition to binding all VEGF-A isoforms, aflibercept also blocks other proangiogenic...
