Unlike the CETP rs3764261 variant, the presence of the LPL rs12678919 polymorphism was not associated with an altered AMD risk (OR = 1.01, CI: 0.92–1.10, P = 0.17; Fig. 3), without significant heterogeneity (I2 = 41.9%, P = 0.07). This evidence concerns the gene CETP and age-related macular degeneration.
