Complement factor H polymorphism in age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE To determine the association between complement factor H (CFH) polymorphism T1277C (tyrosine-402 --> histidine-402) and phenotypic variations of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DESIGN Cross-sectional observational study. PARTICIPANTS Subjects with dry or wet AMD and a control population consisting of age-matched non-AMD subjects from 2 clinical facilities examined during the...
متن کاملComplement factor H polymorphism and age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common, late-onset, and complex trait with multiple risk factors. Concentrating on a region harboring a locus for AMD on 1q25-31, the ARMD1 locus, we tested single-nucleotide polymorphisms for association with AMD in two independent case-control populations. Significant association (P = 4.95 x 10(-10)) was identified within the regulation of complemen...
متن کاملComplement factor h autoantibodies and age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE In this case-control study, the hypothesis that factor H autoantibodies are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) was examined. METHODS One hundred AMD patients (median age, 78 years), 98 age-matched control subjects (median age, 78 years) known not to have AMD, and 100 healthy blood donors (median age, 43 years) were enrolled. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EL...
متن کاملClinical study of the correlation between complement factor H polymorphism and age-related macular degeneration.
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) of the liver-kidney yin-deficiency type and complement factor H (CFH) polymorphism, and to determine whether the C allele of the T1277C (Y402H) variant is a risk factor for this condition. We performed a case-control investigation of 60 patients with liver-kidney yin-deficiency AMD and 60 normal contr...
متن کاملNeovascular age-related macular degeneration and its association with LOC387715 and complement factor H polymorphism.
OBJECTIVE To compare phenotypes of 2 age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility genes: LOC387715 and complement factor H (CFH). METHODS Phenotypes of 755 AMD cases were characterized. The number of LOC387715 (T allele at rs10490924, or A69S) and CFH (T1277C at rs1061170, or Y402H) risk alleles were determined in each case. Individuals were divided into 5 groups by genotype: group 1...
