“…Chromosomal regions found by more than one genome wide scan to be significantly linked to all subtypes of AMD include 1q23.3– q31.1, 21,33,34,37,93,104,105 2p25.3– p12, 36,37 6q14, 35,38 9q31, 36,37 10q26, 34,37,39,93,104,106 12q23– q24.31, 35,37 15q13– q15, 35,37 16p12– p12.1, 35,37,38 17q25, 104,105 and 22q12.1. 36,93 Pooled analysis of several of these genome wide linkage studies and examining all types of AMD confirmed two of the most consistently reported chromosomal regions (1q23.3– q31.1 and 10q26) while identifying others that were not initially significant in the separate studies alone.…”
