Genetic Association between MMP9 and Choroidal Neovascularization in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Genetic Association between MMP9 and Choroidal Neovascularization in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Purpose: To evaluate the first association specific to exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) located near the matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) gene. Design: Genetic association study. Participants: One thousand seven hundred twelve patients with AMD (672 nonexudative, 1040 exudative) of...
