Multiple studies demonstrate a strong association between three variants at chromosome 10q26 – rs10490924, del443ins54, and rs11200638 – near the age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) and high-temperature requirement factor A1 (HTRA1) genes with susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This evidence concerns the gene ARMS2 and age-related macular degeneration.
