Dry AMD involves the degeneration of the neural retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid in a process known as geographic atrophy, while wet AMD is marked by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), wherein, encouraged by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), blood vessels from the choroidal vasculature undergo aberrant growth, penetrating and damaging the retina.3 This evidence concerns the gene VEGFA and wet macular degeneration.
