There is one clinical trial.
This study is to investigate whether there is an association of the LOC387715/HTRA1 and vascular endothelial growth factor polymorphism with response to treatment with intravitreal ranibizumab injections for patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
Patients were genotyped for the LOC387715 (rs10490924), HTRA1 gene (rs11200638), and VEGF (rs3025039 and rs833069)polymorphism using Real-Time polymerase chain reaction.
Description: Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using the Snellen chart was evaluated including BCVA before treatment and 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)were evaluated. Greatest linear dimension (GLD) was determined based on both FA and ICGA.
Measure: Angiographic characteristics Time: up to 12 months
