With the recent expansion of treatment options, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and improving access to treatment are increasingly becoming the focus of interest. By using data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to generate polygenic risk scores (PRS), an assessment of an individual's genetic risk for AMD is feasible. While the predictive accuracy of the AMD-PRS is most robust for individuals at very high genetic risk, genetic diagnostic testing is warranted due to the large number of affected individuals resulting from the high prevalence of AMD. Early genetic confirmation of AMD-related pathology can facilitate timely treatment initiation, potentially improving patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":51130,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Genetik","volume":"37 1","pages":"27-35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11812471/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post-marketing results confirm a significant therapeutic effect of this gene augmentation on rod function similar to that seen in the phase 1 to 3 clinical trials. The full-field chromatic light sensitivity test is an appropriate test to demonstrate early and sustained effects of treatment. Visual acuity and visual fields may improve in less advanced disease. Accelerated chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) is a previously unrecognised adverse effect that is now reported in 13 % to 50 % of treated eyes. If central, visual acuity loss and paracentral visual field defects may occur. Further studies are needed to identify patients at risk of CRA in order to maximize patient benefit from a costly intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":51130,"journal":{"name":"Medizinische Genetik","volume":"37 1","pages":"47-56"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11812477/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
