PMCID: PMC3657157 abstract: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the commonest cause of blindness in Western populations. Risk is influenced by age, genetic and environmental factors. Complement activation appears to be important in the pathogenesis and associations have been found between AMD and genetic variations in complement regulators such as complement factor H. We therefore investigated other complement regulators for association with AMD. date: 2012-02 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.imbio.2011.09.002 oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't verified: verified_manual elements_source: PubMed elements_id: 347236 doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2011.09.002 pii: S0171-2985(11)00202-6 language_elements: ENG lyricists_name: Bunce, Catherine lyricists_name: Cipriani, Valentina lyricists_name: Moore, Anthony lyricists_id: CVBUN79 lyricists_id: VCIPR76 lyricists_id: AMOOR91 full_text_status: public publication: Immunobiology volume: 217 number: 2 pagerange: 158 - 161 event_location: Netherlands issn: 0171-2985 citation: Cipriani, V; Matharu, BK; Khan, JC; Shahid, H; Stanton, CM; Hayward, C; Wright, AF; ...
