Our results on the influence of the LOC387715, CFH Y402H, and HTRA1 variants are consistent with the literature: the individuals with risk alleles were almost twice as likely to be part of the AMD group relative to the control group (OR: 2.21, 2.27 and 2.76 respectively) [9, 36]. Here, HTRA1 is linked to age-related macular degeneration.
