PLA2G12A and age-related macular degeneration: According to annotation information for published AMD genome-wide association studies included in the NHGRI-EBI Catalog (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/home; accessed 28 March 2017), 12 AMD-associated SNPs are located in coding regions of APOE, ARMS2 (1), C2 (1), C3 (2), CFB (1), CFH (4), CFI (1), and PLA2G12A (1), and therefore were investigated for allele-specific expression (Table 8).
