A SNP (rs547154) in the C2 gene and three SNPs (rs541862, rs2072633, rs4151667) in the CFB gene were genotyped, and case-control studies were performed in subjects with these PCV subtypes.
We performed an association analysis between PCV and polymorphisms across the C2-CFB-RDBP-SKIV2L region in a Japanese population, genotyping 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning this region, including rs9332739 (E318D), rs547154, rs4151667 (L9H), and rs641153 (R32Q) that are known to be associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The A/A genotype of rs2072633 was significantly more common in the polypoidal CNV than in the typical PCV group (p = 0.03), even with adjustment for polyp number and greatest linear dimension.
