“…Other studies have recently reported an association between VEGF SNPs and AMD development, including VEGF-rs2010963 studied here [33,34]. However, in our recent reports, we failed to provide an evidence of the association of these three VEGF SNPs with disease susceptibility [35] and the response to photodynamic therapy treatment [36]. The population-based Rotterdam study, which examined 4,228 participants, also demonstrated no significant association with AMD susceptibility [37], which is consistent to our report [35].…”

“…Indeed, our previous study showed a possible association of the coding variants in rs1410996, rather than rs1061170, with susceptibility to PCV [20]. Since the minor allele frequency in rs1061170 is low (5-6%) in the Japanese population, [20,25,27,30] we hypothesized that it would be difficult to detect statistical significance with the limited number of subjects in that study. The present study, however, suggested an independent association of the coding variants in both rs1061170 and rs1410996 with the pathogenesis of PCV in terms of the effects of PDT.…”

“…In particular, rs1410996 showed a significant association with both the proportion of PDT responders and non-responders, and with the visual outcome after PDT, whereas rs1061170 (Y402H) did not show any significant association with the visual outcome after PDT. It is interesting that variants in rs1410996 were reported to be associated with neovascular AMD and PCV, predominantly in Asian populations including Japanese [27][28][29][30]. Indeed, our previous study showed a possible association of the coding variants in rs1410996, rather than rs1061170, with susceptibility to PCV [20].…”

“…The incidence of AMD and PCV vary according to ethnicity. For example, wet AMD and PCV are more common in Japanese populations compared to Caucasians (16). In a study that assessed the AMD prevalence in Hispanic, black, Chinese, and white patients, wet AMD was reported to be most common among the Chinese population (17).…”
