This analysis revealed that 8 genetic variants (<i>CFH, ARMS2, IL-8, TIMP3, SLC16A8, RAD51B, VEGFA</i> and <i>COL8A1</i>) were significantly associated with AMD susceptibility.
We found that the expression level of LIPC, SLC16A8, and TIMP-3 was significantly associated with AMD pathology in both groups (LIPC: P = 0.008, SLC16A8: P < 0.001, TIMP-3: P < 0.001, respectively).
