The association between the growth of geographic atrophy (GA) and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the complement factor I (CFI) locus was investigated in the COMPLETE trial. Growth of GA at 52 weeks in eyes without the CFI at-risk allele was slightly faster than the growth in eyes with the CFI at-risk allele (P ≥ .72). The authors of the current study found that in contrast to the faster growth rate reported in CFI-positive eyes from the MAHALO trial, the CFI positive eyes in the COMPLETE trial did not grow faster, and this analysis included 24 eyes that met the MAHALO eligibility criteria.
