Known AMD-associated genes (APOE and LIPC) (Fritsche et al. 2016) are also described as members of the triglyceride, neutral lipid, acylglycerol, and glycerolipid catabolic processes (GO:0019433, GO:0046461, GO:0046464, and GO:0046503, respectively), which were enriched in genes from our linkage region. Here, APOE is linked to age-related macular degeneration.
