Interleukin-1 β-31 (rs1143627) genetic variant and the risk of age-related macular degeneration in the Brazilian population
Conclusions: The rs1443627 variant was not associated with AMD risk in this Brazilian population sample. Larger studies are warranted to determine whether the trends observed in this study reflect a relationship between this variant and risk of AMD, especially wet AMD.PMID:34132166 | DOI:10.1080/13816810.2021.1929337
