VEGFA and age-related macular degeneration: The pathogenesis of AMD is related to the ageing of the retina, the retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch’s membrane leading to development of drusen, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) abnormalities, and macular neovascularisation within the choroid or the retina due to activation of angiogenesis by several molecules, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) [2, 3].
