Abstract
We investigated whether the effect of lipid-lowering drugs (LLDs) on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) differs according to the main complement genetic variants in Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases (SEED) (n = 5,579) and UK Biobank studies (n = 445,727). The effect of LLD was determined for each stratum of 20 complement genetic variants. In SEED, 484 individuals developed AMD and 216 showed progression over 6 years. In the UK Biobank, 913 participants developed AMD over 11 years. rs1061170 variant (complement factor H gene) was the only variant for which we found a protective effect in both populations. This effect was found in individuals carrying at least one C allele in SEED (odds ratio [OR] = 0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19–0.87) and in individuals carrying two C alleles in UK Biobank (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.45–0.93). These effects corresponded to a 50% and 35% decrease in AMD risk, respectively. Our study highlights the potential for personalized therapy for AMD based on complement genotyping.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
