Disturbance in lipid metabolism has been suggested as a major pathogenic factor for age-
related macular degeneration (AMD). Conventional lipid measures have been inconsistently
associated with AMD. Other factors that can alter lipid metabolism include lipoprotein
phenotype and genetic mutations. We performed a case-control study to examine the
association between lipoprotein profile and neovascular AMD (nAMD) and whether the
cholesterylester transfer protein (CETP) D442G mutation modulates these associations …
