Quantifying Fundus Autofluorescence in Patients With Retinitis Pigmentosa.

abstract：PURPOSE:The Y402H polymorphism in the complement regulator factor H (fH) is strongly associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) across diverse populations. Persons homozygous for histidine at this position have up to 12-fold greater risk for AMD than those homozygous for tyrosine. Knowledge of fH-Y402H stat...
