Description
Combined effects on the likelihood of early or late AMD were demonstrated for the LOC387715 Ala69Ser G/T and T/T genotypes with the markers high-sensitivity CRP (odds ratios [ORs], 1.2 for the highest tertile alone, 1.6 for G/T and T/T genotypes alone, and 2.2 for both G/T and T/T genotypes plus the highest tertile, compared with the G/G genotype with the 2 lower tertiles), IL-6 (corresponding ORs, 1.1, 1.6, and 2.2), sICAM-1 (ORs, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.3, respectively), and PAI-1 (ORs, 1.3, 1.7, and 2.3, respectively), but not with WCC, fibrinogen, homocysteine, and von Willebrand factor.
