After application of the Bonferroni correction, the AH-concentrations of most of the cytokines (n = 40) (in particular CCL21, CXCL13, CCL27, CCL11, CCL24, CCL26, CX3CL1, GM-CSF, CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL1, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8/CXCL8, IL-10, Il-16, CXCL10, CXCL11, CCL2, CCL8, CCL7, CCL13, CCL22, MIF, CCL3, CCL15, CCL20, CCL19, CCL23, CXCL16, CXCL12, CCL17, CCL25, TNF-α, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) were similar in all three groups [healthy controls, dry AMD and treated wet AMD (p>0.0012)]. The gene discussed is TGFB2; the disease is wet macular degeneration.
