Impact of age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2, high-temperature requirement A serine peptidase 1, and complement factor H genetic variants on clinical phenotypes of age-related macular degeneration [PDF]
Purpose: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in the elderly. This study investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ARMS2, HTRA1, and CFH with AMD and its clinical phenotypes

HTRA1 (High Temperature Requirement A Serine Peptidase 1) Gene Is Transcriptionally Regulated by Insertion/Deletion Nucleotides Located at the 3′ End of the ARMS2 (Age-related Maculopathy Susceptibility 2) Gene in Patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration [PDF]
Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) accounts for over 85% of AMD cases in the United States, whereas Japanese AMD patients predominantly progress to wet AMD or polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Recent genome-wide association studies have revealed a strong association between AMD and an insertion/deletion sequence between the ARMS2 (age-related ...

Serine Protease HTRA1 Membranous Nephropathy With Polytypic IgG Concurrent With Plasma Cell Dyscrasia [PDF]
A growing number of target antigens have been identified in membranous nephropathy (MN) in recent years. Clinical correlations exist for some MN antigens, whereas others remain poorly characterized because of their rarity.

Genetic Risk and OCT-Based Phenotypic Associations in Age-Related Macular Degeneration [PDF]
Purpose: The risk for developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is associated with multiple genetic variants. We aim to evaluate the association of AMD genetic risk variants with specific features of the disease detected by OCT.

Genetic Insights into Age-Related Macular Degeneration
One of the major causes of vision impairment among elderly people in developed nations is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The distinctive features of AMD are the accumulation of extracellular deposits called drusen and the gradual deterioration ...
