Retinal transcriptome and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis identified PILRB/PILRA (paired immunoglobin like type 2 receptor beta/alpha), B3GLCT (beta 3-glucosyltransferase), BLOC1S1 (biogenesis of lysosome related organelles complex 1 subunit 1), TMEM199 (transmembrane protein 199), and TSPAN10 (tetraspanin 10) as additional putative causal genes for AMD (114, 115). This evidence concerns the gene B3GLCT and age-related macular degeneration.
