This study is to investigate whether variants in the LOC387715 locus and the HtrA serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) gene within the 10q26 locus are associated with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and whether they are associated with clinical patterns including angiographic phenotype in a Korean population.
Name: LOC387715/HTRA1 genotyping
Description: to investigate whether variants in the LOC387715 locus and the HtrA serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1) gene within the 10q26 locus are associated with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV)
Measure: Genotyping of LOC387715/HTRA1 of PCV and control groups Time: 4weeksDescription: The association of the risk allele of the LOC387715/HTRA1 and indocyanine angiographic characteristics of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy including subretinal hemorrhage, pigment epithelial detachment, and serous retinal detachment.
Measure: Indocyanine angiographic findings of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy Time: 20 minutesDescription: To evaluate the association between visual acuity and genotype of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
Measure: Visual acuity using Snellen chart Time: 2 x 5 minutesAllocation: Non-Randomized
