PPARA and dry age related macular degeneration: PPAR-α is transcribed from chromosome 22q12-13.1, is primarilyexpressed in tissues with elevated mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acids β-oxidationrates, such as liver, heart muscle, kidney, skeletal muscle, retina, and brownfat [13–15] and may have a potential role in oxidant/antioxidant pathways nowstrongly implicated in the pathogenesis of dry AMD.
