The aqueous humor levels of VEGF in both the intermediate AMD (median: 224.3 pg/mL, range: 44.8–380.4 pg/mL) and late-stage AMD (median: 108.7 pg/mL, range: 61.9-223.5 pg/mL) patients were similar to those of the control group (median: 121.1 pg/mL, range: 24.9–156.6 pg/mL) (p=0.256). This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and age-related macular degeneration.
