This study is to investigate whether there is an association of the LOC387715/HTRA1 variants with response to treatment with combined photodynamic therapy and intravitreal bevacizumab for patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
Description: Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using the Snellen chart was evaluated including BCVA up to 12 months
Measure: Best-corrected visual acuity Time: up to 12 monthsDescription: Fluorescein angiography (FA) and ICGA (HRA; Heidelberg Engineering, Dossenheim, Germany) was evaluated. Greatest linear dimension (GLD) was determined based on both FA and ICGA.
Measure: Angiographic characteristics Time: up to 12 monthsCohort
There are 2 SNPs
Patients were genotyped for the LOC387715 (rs10490924) and the HTRA1 gene polymorphism (rs11200638).
