The role of apolipoprotein E (rs7412 and rs429358) in age-related macular degeneration.

CONCLUSION: Our data demonstrated that ApoE 4/2 genotype was less frequently observed in old patients (65 years and more) with exudative AMD compared to old healthy controls. It leads to hypothesis on the protective effect of ApoE 4/2 to develop AMD in the elderly. PMID: 29851526 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
