Abstract:
PURPOSE:To investigate the associations of genetic variants in the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism pathway with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). DESIGN:Cross-sectional, case-control association study. PARTICIPANTS:A Chinese case-control group of 200 neovascular AMD patients, 233 PCV patients, and 275 control subjects. METHODS:Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 6 genes of the HDL metabolism pathway and 2 known AMD-associated SNPs, rs800292 (from complement factor H [CFH]) and rs11200638 (from HtrA serine peptidase 1 [HTRA1]), were genotyped in all study subjects using the TaqMan genotyping technology (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Allele and genotypic frequencies of selected SNPs. RESULTS:The SNP rs3764261 in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene was associated significantly with neovascular AMD (P = 1.82×10(-4); odds ratio [OR], 1.89) and PCV (P = 4.04×10(-4); OR, 1.80). The associations remained significant after adjusting for the CFH SNP rs800292 and the HTRA1 SNP rs11200638. A significant interaction between the CETP SNP rs3764261 and the CFH SNP rs800292 existed in both neovascular AMD and PCV, the rs800292 G allele conferring a significantly increased risk of the diseases only in individuals carrying the risk allele T of rs3764261. A borderline association was detected between the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, member 1 (ABCG1) gene SNP rs57137919 and PCV (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS:Our results showed that CETP is a susceptibility gene for neovascular AMD and PCV and that ABCG1 a putative gene for PCV. CETP exerts a modifying effect on CFH in the genetic risk. Our data suggest a link of the HDL metabolism pathway with neovascular AMD and PCV.
