Role of C2/CFB Genes in AMD Progression and Severity

Explore the impact of C2/CFB genes on the progression and severity of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). This study examines the importance of AMD, the genetic and environmental factors involved, and provides insights for future research directions.

Presentation Transcript

  1. C2/CFB Complement Genes in progression and severity of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Brooke Longville Supervised by Lyle Palmer Ian Constable Wayne Greene

  2. What is a Macula?

  3. What is AMD?

  4. Why is AMD Important?

  5. Our Aims and Why we chose C2/CFB

  6. Methods- Population 1013 AMD cases 267 “Early” AMD 746 “Late” AMD 71 Atrophic AMD 675 Neovascular AMD

  7. Methods- Data • Genotypic data- 19 haplotype-tagging Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPS) across the adjacent C2/CFB genes • Phenotypic Data • Disease phenotypes • Environmental factors and medical history • Visual acuity measurements • Basic demographics

  8. Methods- Analytical • Univariate and Multivariate statistical analysis of various subphenotypic outcomes • Stepwise regression to construct biologically sensible multivariate models • Binary, ordinal, norminal logistic and linear regressions • Sensitivity Ttsted to check for population stratification • Adjusted for multiple testing

  9. Results

  10. Discussion

  11. Summary/Conclusions

  12. Implications of this Research and Future Directions
