dc.description.abstractMethods: Association analysis of allele and genotype frequencies, determined by TaqMan assays, was performed for the rs2301995 haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphism (htSNP) in the ELN locus in fifty-six patients with PCV, 368 patients with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and 368 age- and ethnically-matched unaffected controls.Results: the ELN rs2301995 SNP was not statistically significantly associated with the PCV phenotype (P == 0.9). the frequency of the minor allele of the rs2301995 SNP was practically identical in the PCV, AMD and control groups (6.3% vs. 5.4% vs. 7.1%).Conclusion: the PCV phenotype in European-American patients is not associated with rs2301995 SNP in the ELN locus.en
