Risk alleles for neovascular AMD may determine neovascularization in pachychoroid patients
MIAMI — The frequency of risk alleles predisposing to neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration also predicts neovascularization in pachychoroid disease, according to a study presented here. “The risk alleles investigated seem predisposed to the neovascularization, not necessarily just in AMD, but perhaps in other diseases such as pachychoroid,” K. Bailey Freund, MD, said at Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2016.
