Association of CFI gene polymorphism with age related macular degeneration in Northwest of Iran
Background & Aims: To investigate the association of CFI p.Gly119Arg polymorphism with Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Materials & Methods: In this case-control study, the association of p.Gly119Arg polymorphism in CFI gene was investigated in 65 patients suffering from AMD and150 healthy age, sex and ethnicity matched unrelated people as control group. Both of the case and cont...
متن کاملSerum levels of lipid metabolites in age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes adult-onset blindness. There are 2 forms of this progressive disease: wet and dry. Currently there is no cure for AMD, but several treatment options have started to emerge making early detection critical for therapeutic success. Analysis of the eyes of Abca4(-/-)Rdh8(-/-) mice that display light-induced retinal de...
متن کاملEpidemiology of age-related macular degeneration (AMD): associations with cardiovascular disease phenotypes and lipid factors
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in adults over 50 years old. Genetic, epidemiological, and molecular studies are beginning to unravel the intricate mechanisms underlying this complex disease, which implicate the lipid-cholesterol pathway in the pathophysiology of disease development and progression. Many of the genetic and environmental risk...
متن کاملABCR Gene and Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Stargardt disease is a recessively inherited degeneration of the macula of the retina arising in youth (usually in teenagers and young adults) that is caused by defects in the ABCR gene (1). Rando Allikmets et al. investigate (2) the idea that heterozygote carriers of ABCR mutations might develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD) late in life. We wish to point out methodological deficienci...
متن کاملبررسی اثر چندشکلی ژنتیکی xrcc7 با ریسک ابتلا به بیماریamd age-related macular degeneration))
amd بیماری تحلیل شبکیه است که عامل اصلی کوری در افراد بالای 55 سال در جهان غرب به شمار می-رود. در اثر این بیماری، لیپوپروتئین ها در شبکیه تجمع پیدا کرده و رگ زایی القاء می شود. ثابت شده است که عوامل ژنوتوکسیک محیطی مثل سیگار کشیدن، رژیم غذایی و نور در افراد پیر با زمینه ی ژنتیکی مستعد در بروز بیماری دخیل می باشند. بنابراین ما یک مطالعه ی مـورد- شاهـدی را ترتیب دادیم که شـامل 112 فرد مبتلا به am...
