Patients with AMD who are being or have been treated with eye injections of drugs known as anti-VEGF agents with either good or poor response will have DNA collected with check swabs for analysis.
The study is designed as a single-center, observational case control evaluation to compare the genetic profiles of two groups of patients categorized according to anti-VEGF treatment response as either "positive" or "suboptimal" responders following treatment with either bevacizumab or ranibizumab anti-VEGF agents. Positive and suboptimal responders will be compared to determine if genetic variant distribution or total genetic load is associated with anti-VEGF treatment response.
