Nonetheless, while looking up on previously reported 22 genes within 17 distinct loci (Supplementary Table 1) associated with AMD in European populations, we note nominal evidence of association between genetic load at CETP (Punconditioned=5.38 × 10−6), whereby the association was almost entirely driven by D442G (Pconditioned for D442G=0.96; Table 4) as well as C2 and AMD (P=1.83 × 10−6, Supplementary Table 9). This evidence concerns the gene CETP and age-related macular degeneration.
