FORECASTING OF PROGRESSION OF AGE MACULODYSTROPHY TO THE LATE STAGE BY MEANS OF A POLYGENIC INDICATOR

摘要

The present invention relates to methods for identifying individuals with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who possess a greater risk of progression to advanced AMD, using a polygenic score calculated based on the results of genome-wide gene association studies, using thousands of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
