Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its receptor are crucial regulators of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in wet AMD.1 The vessels produced in CNV are fragile, and their contents tend to leak into the retina layers, promoting fibrogliosis which results in the formation of a disciform scar and severe loss of vision if not properly treated. This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and wet macular degeneration.
