Background: An association between LOC387715/ARMS2 (rs10490924) gene polymorphism and AMD has been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether this polymorphism is associated with AMD in a Brazilian cohort.
Materials And Methods: In total, 126 unrelated AMD patients (mean age 74.17 ± 7.64) were compared with 86 healthy controls (mean age 71.82 ± 7.12). Study subjects were classified according to the International ARM Epidemiological Study Group definition for early and late-stage AMD. LOC387715/ARMS2 rs10490924 polymorphism was evaluated through polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing.
Results: The T allele frequency was significantly higher in AMD patients than in controls (39.6% compared to 20.3%). The odds ratio (OR) for AMD was 2.05 (95% CI 1.13-3.71) for heterozygotes (TG) and 8.32 (95% CI 2.30-45.99) for homozygotes (TT).
Conclusions: These results suggest that there is a contribution of the rs10490924 SNP of the LOC387715/ARMS2 gene to AMD susceptibility in this sample of the Brazilian population.

Purpose: To determine the association of genetic variants in known age-related macular degeneration (AMD) risk-associated genes with outcome of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment in neovascular AMD.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Participants: We enrolled 224 consecutive patients with neovascular AMD at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, Australia.

We investigated the association between the LOC387715/ARMS2 polymorphism (rs10490924 G>T) and susceptibility to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) through a meta-analysis of 1446 cases and 3255 controls from eight case-control studies. The genetic effect of the LOC387715/ARMS2 rs10490924 G>T polymorphism on PCV was assessed by calculating pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs). We found that elevated PCV risk was significantly associated with the GG genotype (GG vs TT, OR = 4.

Purpose: To evaluate the association and interaction of single nucleotide polymorphisms in CFH and LOC387715/ARMS2 with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a Korean population.
Methods: A total of 114 exudative AMD patients and 240 normal subjects participated in the study. PCR and direct sequencing were used to screen SNPs in the CFH and in the LOC387715/ARMS2.

Purpose: To examine the association of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with HtrA serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) gene rs11200638 G→A polymorphism and LOC387715/ ARMS2 gene rs10490924 G→T polymorphisms, and to evaluate the magnitude of the gene effect and the possible genetic mode of action.
Methods: We searched the US National Library of Medicine's PubMed, Embase, OMIM, ISI Web of Science, and CNKI databases in a systematic manner to retrieve all genetic association studies on the HTRA1 (rs11200638) and LOC387715/ ARMS2 (rs10490924) gene polymorphisms and AMD. We performed a meta-analysis conducted with Stata software, version 9.
