Objective:
To determine the relationships between variants in adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) with advanced forms of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility.
Methods:
A total of 189 advanced AMD patients and 168 controls were recruited. Seven tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ADIPOQ were genotyped by the SNaPshot method.
Results:
Alleles or genotypes of rs822396 distributed significantly differently in advanced AMD patients and controls. The minor allele G at rs822396 was associated with an increased risk of advanced AMD in a dominant model. Furthermore, haplotype analysis revealed that haplotypes AGGACCT and TGACCCC were significantly increased the advanced AMD susceptibility, whereas haplotypes AGAACGC, TGAACGT and TGACAGC had protective effects.
Conclusion:
ADIPOQ genetic variant rs822396 might affect an individual's susceptibility to AMD, making it efficient genetic biomarkers for early detection of AMD.
