Six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), A69S (rs10490924) in ARMS2, rs11200638 in HTRA1, I62V (rs800292) in CFH, Y402H (rs1061170) in CFH, R80G (rs2230199) in C3, and rs2241394 in C3, were genotyped in eight Japanese patients with RAP.Results: The two SNPs in the ARMS2/HTRA1 were in complete linkage disequilibrium. The frequency of the risk T allele in ARMS2 (the risk A allele in HTRA1) was 93.8% in the RAP patients. The frequency of homozygosity for the risk genotype TT of ARMS2 (the risk genotype AA of HTRA1) was 87.5%. The frequency of the non-risk allele (A) of I62V was 100%. The frequencies of risk alleles of Y402H, R80G, and rs2241394 were 12.5%, 0%, and 18.8%, respectively.Conclusion: Our results suggest that the risk alleles of the ARMS2/HTRA1 SNPs may be associated with development of RAP and play a major role in the pathogenesis of intraretinal angiogenesis.Keywords: age-related macular degeneration, retinal angiomatous proliferation, single nucleotide polymorphisms, ARMS2/HTRA1 genes, components of the complement systemOhkuma YHayashi TSakai TWatanabe AYamada HAkahori MItabashi TIwata TNoda TTsuneoka HDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2014, Iss default, Pp 143-148 (2013) |
