Genetic and functional dissection of HTRA1 and LOC387715 in age-related macular degeneration.

Genetic and functional dissection of HTRA1 and LOC387715 in age-related macular degeneration.

A common haplotype on 10q26 influences the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and encompasses two genes, LOC387715 and HTRA1. Recent data have suggested that loss of LOC387715, mediated by an insertion/deletion (in/del) that destabilizes its message, is causally related with the disorder...
