“…Interestingly, the E4 allele has been reported by several independent groups as being significantly less prevalent among AMD cases when compared with the corresponding control populations [Klaver et al, 1998a;Souied et al, 1998;Simonelli et al, 2001;Baird et al, 2004;Zareparsi et al, 2004]. The E4 polymorphism is associated with a protective effect against AMD, while the E2 allele is weakly associated with a slightly increased risk for developing late AMD (see our meta-analysis).…”

“…ApoE is also basally secreted by RPE cells [Anderson et al, 2001;Ishida et al, 2004]. It has been postulated that ApoE may facilitate lipid efflux from RPE cells and lipid transport across Bruch's membrane, thus reducing lipid deposit levels [Souied et al, 1998]. However, this hypothesis does not account for the fact that ApoE is a significant component of drusen [Anderson et al, 2001].…”

“…C'est aussi une protéine chaperonne importante dans le cytoplasme des cellules. C'était donc un possible gène candidat et deux études respectivement menées par Souied et al et Klaver et al en 1998 ont conclu à son association à la DMLA [7,8]. Dans ces deux études, l'isoforme 4 apparaît comme protectrice, avec des odds ratio respectifs de 0,34 et 0,43.…”

“…The apolipoliprotein E4 allele is associated with a 50% reduced risk of AMD [38][39][40][41][42][43]. Recently, three independent teams simultaneously demonstrated a significant association between the Y402H polymorphism of the complement factor H (CFH) gene and AMD in North American subjects [44][45][46], immediately followed by three other corroborating papers in North American populations [47][48][49], one study from France [50] and one from Iceland [51].…”
