COL8A1 and age-related macular degeneration: Considering previously studied links between genetic variations and AMD, we chose three previously described SNPs in RAD51B (rs8017304), TRIB1 (rs6987702), and COL8A1 (rs13095226) and four new genetic loci in RAD51B (rs2588809), TRIB1 (rs4351376 and rs4351379), and COL10A1 (rs1064583) genes as potential biomarkers for early and exudative AMD.
