In addition to its involvement in neovascularisation associated with several proliferative disorders, abnormal VEGF expression is implicated in several ocular disease conditions such as macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy [9], choroidal neovascularisation associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) [10], neovascular glaucoma and fibrotic complications of glaucoma filtration surgery etc. [11]. The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is age-related macular degeneration.
