Clinical and Genetic Analyzes of Age-related Macular Degeneration

Clinical and Genetic Analyzes of Age-related Macular Degeneration

The purpose of this collection is to search for susceptibility genes for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) alone or in combination with environmental factors and to look for genes that modulate the AMD phenotype (particularly the response to treatment).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age> 55 years
• Diagnosis of exudative or atrophic AMD in at least one eye
• Patient informed of the objectives of the study and having freely signed the informed consent letter
• Patient affiliated to a social security scheme

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other retinal or choroidal lesion in the studied eye
• History of severe systemic disease that could potentially hinder patient adherence to the study protocol: mental disorder, cancer, recent stroke or heart failure less than 3 months old.
• Known allergy to fluorescein, indocyanine green, iodine or ranibizumab
