with our accurate genotyping method, the RR genotype was correlated with atherothrombotic CAD events. The inverse correlation found between CRP levels and genotype supports the in vitro data of RR cells binding CRP stronger than HH.

The present study confirmed the association between CFH Y402H SNP and wet AMD in the Greek population (OR=1.77, p=0.002). FCGR2A H131R polymorphism was investigated for the first time in this present study for possible correlation with wet AMD and a statistically significant association was detected (OR=1.74, p=0.006), that awaits further confirmation in a larger set of samples.
