There are 6 clinical trials
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.
One hundred Korean patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and 100 control subjects were genotyped for the LOC387715 (rs10490924) and the HTRA1 gene polymorphism (rs11200638)

Measure: Visual acuity using Snellen chart Time: 2 x 5 minutesThis 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.
Patients were genotyped for the LOC387715 (rs10490924) and the HTRA1 gene polymorphism (rs11200638).

Measure: Angiographic characteristics Time: up to 12 monthsThis 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 monthsThe purpose of this study is to determine if polymorphisms at rs11200638 on HTRA1 and rs1061170 on CFH are associated with an accelerated progression to advanced AMD (wet AMD or GA) in patients with early AMD (soft confluent drusen>120 microns ) in the study eye, and with either early AMD or advanced AMD in the non-study eye.
Genetic Assessment of Early to Late macuLar dEgeneration studY 2. Genetic Assessment of Early to Late Macular Degeneration Study The purpose of this study is to determine if polymorphisms at rs11200638 on HTRA1 and rs1061170 on CFH are associated with an accelerated progression to advanced AMD (wet AMD or GA) in patients with early AMD (soft confluent drusen>120 microns ) in the study eye, and with either early AMD or advanced AMD in the non-study eye.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether common genetic polymorphisms that have been verified to be related to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in some populations are also associated with AMD in Turkish population
The gen variants mostly studied in relation to AMD are CFH (rs1061170 and rs1410996), LOC387715/ARMS-2 (A69S /rs10490924), HTRA-1 (rs11200638), C3 (R102G/ rs2230199), C2 E318D (rs9332739), and CFB R32Q (rs641153).
In the introduced projects study, the relationship of eight different gen polymorphisms (CFH rs1061170 and rs1410996, LOC387715 / ARMS2 gene rs10490924, C2 gene rs9332739, CFB gene rs641153, CFI rs10033900 , HTRA-1 gene rs11200638, C3 rs2230199) will be studied in 2800 patients with high risk intermediate and late stage AMD and 2200 age-matched control subjects.
Description: Gene polymorphisms of 8 region with identification of homozygous, heterozygote and wild type genotyping and alleles
Measure: rate of homozygous, heterozygous or wild type genotype and allels Time: at the end of third yearsPurpose: To examine the genotypes associated with the peripheral retinal phenotypic features in patients with age-related macular degeneration documented with wide-field imaging. Design: Clinic-based case series study in Croatia. Participants: 160 patients >50 years of age known to have early or advanced AMD and 150 subjects >50 years of age without known AMD (controls) Methods: Both groups of patients were examined with ophthalmoscopy and OCT to confirm their classification. Posterior and peripheral fundus features were documented with Optos wide-field imaging (Optos P200MA, Optos Plc, Dunfermline, Scotland) and graded. DNA was extracted from blood samples and gene polymorphisms were evaluated for complement factor H (CFH) rs1061170 and rs1410996, age-related maculopathy susceptibility (ARMS2) rs10490924, high temperature requirement factor A1 (HtrA1) rs11200638, complement factor B (CFB) rs4151667 and rs641153, complement factor 2 (C2) rs9332739 and rs547154 and complement factor 3 (C3) rs2230199.
