We first filtered the data to keep only subjects older than 60 and analyzed the data from the “normal” samples (controls, n = 36) and from intermediate AMD patients (n = 18) classified in Newman et al. as “MD2” (n = 4; soft distinct drusen > 63 μm/pigmentary changes) and “dry AMD” (n = 14; soft indistinct drusen > 125 μm, reticular drusen, soft distinct drusen in association with pigmentary changes, soft distinct drusen in association with pigmentary changes). Here, LY96 is linked to age-related macular degeneration.
