Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the genetic variant rs2217332 in the HERPUD1 gene and two eye diseases: age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in an Indian population.
- Researchers analyzed data from 422 participants, including patients with AMD, PCV, and healthy controls, using genetic sequencing and statistical analysis to assess associations.
- Results indicated a significant connection between rs2217332 and PCV, but not with AMD, suggesting that this genetic variant increases the risk specifically for PCV.
