Purpose: This study aimed to determine the association of A69S, del443ins54, and Y402H polymorphisms with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) for the first time in an Indonesian population.
Patients And Methods: Our case-control study involved 104 nAMD and 100 control subjects. AMD diagnosis was evaluated by retinal specialists based on color fundus photography and optical coherence tomography. The polymorphisms on Y402H and A69S were analyzed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), whereas del443ins54 was evaluated by PCR-based assay.
Results: Significant allelic associations with nAMD were detected on all polymorphisms (P<0.05), with stronger association with the A69S (OR 3.13; 95% CI 2.08-4.71; P<0.001) and del443ins54 (OR 3.28; 95% CI 2.17-4.95; P<0.001) polymorphisms than with Y402H (OR 2.08; 95% CI 1.08-3.99; P=0.028). Genotype analysis showed a statistical difference between nAMD and the control group for all polymorphisms (P<0.05). However, the association with nAMD was weaker for Y402H (P=0.043) than for A69S and del443ins54 (P<0.001). A significant interaction between A69S and hypertension was documented (OR 9.53; 95% CI 3.61-25.1; P<0.001).
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that A69S and del443ins54 polymorphisms are strongly associated with the risk of nAMD for the first time in an Indonesian population. The risk of nAMD increased when the presence of risk alleles from A69S was combined with the presence of hypertension.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the presence of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) and the risk allele of ARMS2 rs10490924 variation in dry-AMD patients by using multimodal imaging. Also, to compare patients with and without RPD and healthy volunteers according to the distribution of the risk allele.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, dry-AMD patients with (Group A, n = 50) and without (Group B, n = 50) RPD and healthy volunteers (Group C, n = 50) were enrolled.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and the Pathogenesis of Intracranial Aneurysms: A Systematic Review on the Missing Link in a Complex Pathway.

Background: Aneurysms are one of the most common and yet devastating cerebrovascular diseases after rupture. Despite several decades of scientific advancements including the expansion of the endovascular capabilities and noninvasive imaging modalities, no medical treatment exists to date. This failure is likely largely attributed to the complex and multifactorial nature of aneurysm pathophysiology.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find genetic factors that contribute to myopic macular neovascularization (mMNV) in people with severe myopia through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis.
- Researchers analyzed data from 2,783 highly myopic individuals, including 608 with mMNV and 2,175 controls, using advanced genetic analysis techniques.
- The study discovered a new genetic variant, rs56257842, associated with a lower risk of mMNV, and found that certain transcription factors interacted differently with this variant, suggesting it plays a significant role in the disease's development.

Background: Dysregulation of the complement system is involved in development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The complement cascade is regulated by membrane bound complement regulatory proteins (Cregs) on mononuclear leukocytes among others. This study aims to investigate systemic complement proteins and Cregs in AMD stages and their association with treatment response in neovascular AMD (nAMD).

Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling and a positive regulator of angiogenesis. Its expression is increased in a mouse model of retinal neovascularization and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This case-control study aimed to investigate the association between the rs9896052 polymorphism (A>C) upstream of and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in patients with T2DM from Southern Brazil, taking into consideration self-reported skin color (white or non-white) and the known duration of diabetes (<10 years or ≥10 years).
