Evaluation of the association of C5 with neovascular age-related macular degeneration and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

Abstract Background Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) are sight-threatening maculopathies with both environmental and genetic risk factors. We have previously shown relative risks posed by genes of the complement pathways to neovascular AM...
