A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants
Advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly, with limited therapeutic options. Here we report on a study of >12 million variants, including… Expand

Ancestral LOXL1 variants are associated with pseudoexfoliation in Caucasian Australians but with markedly lower penetrance than in Nordic people.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is a generalized disorder of the extracellular matrix, characterized by the pathological accumulation of abnormal fibrillar material in the anterior segment of the eye… Expand

The epsilon2 and epsilon4 alleles of the apolipoprotein gene are associated with age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE To date, of all the genes studied in relation to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the alleles of the apolipoprotein (apoE) gene have been the most consistently associated with disease.… Expand

Common variants near FRK/COL10A1 and VEGFA are associated with advanced age-related macular degeneration
Despite significant progress in the identification of genetic loci for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), not all of the heritability has been explained. To identify variants which contribute to… Expand

Amyloid precursor protein processing and retinal pathology in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease
BackgroundRetinal ganglion cell loss is considered to be a cause of visual impairment in Alzheimer`s patients. Alterations in amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and amyloid-β (Aβ)… Expand

Genome-wide meta-analyses of multiancestry cohorts identify multiple new susceptibility loci for refractive error and myopia
Refractive error is the most common eye disorder worldwide and is a prominent cause of blindness. Myopia affects over 30% of Western populations and up to 80% of Asians. The CREAM consortium… Expand

Hypomethylation of the IL17RC promoter associates with age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly population worldwide. Although recent studies have demonstrated strong genetic associations… Expand

Insights into the Genetic Architecture of Early Stage Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Genome-Wide Association Study Meta-Analysis
Genetic factors explain a majority of risk variance for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for late AMD implicate genes in complement, inflammatory… Expand

Androgen Receptor Repeat Length Polymorphism Associated with Male-to-Female Transsexualism
BACKGROUND There is a likely genetic component to transsexualism, and genes involved in sex steroidogenesis are good candidates. We explored the specific hypothesis that male-to-female transsexualism… Expand

Evaluating the association between keratoconus and the corneal thickness genes in an independent Australian population.
PURPOSE A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified six loci associated with central corneal thickness that also conferred associated risk of keratoconus (KC). We aimed to assess whether… Expand
