摘要
目的:发生老年性黄斑变性(AMD)的风险与多种遗传变异有关。我们的目的是评估AMD遗传风险变异与OCT.DesignA回顾性横断面研究检测到的疾病特定特征之间的关系。参与者:来自单一三级转诊中心诊断为AMD的受试者和健康对照者(50岁)。方法对578例与AMD相关的52个单核苷酸多态性进行基因分型分析。加权遗传风险评分(WGRSs)分别计算了参与补体级联、脂质代谢和其他途径的编码蛋白的基因变异。计算所有52个变异的全局WGRS。OCT图像显示典型的结节、视网膜下结节样沉积物、高反射灶(HRF)、完整的视网膜色素上皮和视网膜外萎缩(cRORA)以及黄斑新生血管的存在。主要观察指标:oct检测WGRS与个体遗传风险变异与特定疾病特征的相关性。结果drusen的存在与脂质WGRS呈正相关(r = 0.09, P = 0.02)。Logistic回归分析显示cRORA与补体评分存在相关性(优势比[OR] = 1.25, 95%可信区间[CI] 1.05-1.50;P = 0.01),以及总体评分(OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.13-1.46;P & lt;0.001)。回归还显示HRF与年龄相关性黄斑病变易感性2/高温要求A丝氨酸肽酶1变异相关(OR = 1.53, 95% CI 1.03-2.27;P = 0.03),其他途径评分(OR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.20-3.12;P = 0.007),总体评分(OR = 1.16, 95% CI 1.00-1.35;P = 0.04)。结论基于风险变异的AMD加权遗传风险评分与特定疾病特征相关。与途径特异性评分相比,全球WGRS的紧密关联表明,多种途径参与特定疾病特征的发展,如cRORA、drusen和HRF。财务披露专有或商业披露可在本文末尾的脚注和披露中找到。
Genetic Risk and OCT-Based Phenotypic Associations in Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Purpose
The risk for developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is associated with multiple genetic variants. We aim to evaluate the association of AMD genetic risk variants with specific features of the disease detected by OCT.
Design
A retrospective cross-sectional study.
Participants
Subjects diagnosed with AMD and healthy controls (>50 years of age) from a single tertiary referral center.
Methods
Genotyping of 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with AMD was analyzed in 578 patients. Weighted genetic risk scores (WGRSs) were calculated for variants in genes encoding proteins involved in the complement cascade, lipid metabolism, and other pathways, respectively. A global WGRS was calculated for all 52 variants. OCT images were annotated for the presence of typical drusen, subretinal drusenoid deposits, hyperreflective foci (HRF), complete retinal pigmented epithelium and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA), and macular neovascularization.
Main Outcome Measures
Association of WGRS and individual genetic risk variants with specific disease features detected by OCT.
Results
A positive correlation between the presence of drusen and the lipid WGRS was detected (r = 0.09, P = 0.02). Logistic regression analysis indicated associations between cRORA and the complement score (odds ratio [OR] = 1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05–1.50; P = 0.01), as well as the global score (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.13–1.46; P < 0.001). Regression also showed an association of HRF with the age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2/high-temperature requirement A serine peptidase 1 variant (OR = 1.53, 95% CI 1.03–2.27; P = 0.03), the other pathways score (OR = 1.94, 95% CI 1.20–3.12; P = 0.007), and the global score (OR = 1.16, 95% CI 1.00–1.35; P = 0.04).
Conclusions
Weighted genetic risk scores based on risk variants for AMD are associated with specific disease features. Tighter association of the global WGRS compared to pathway-specific scores suggests that several pathways are involved in the development of specific disease features such as cRORA, drusen, and HRF.
