Predictors of anti-VEGF treatment response in neovascular age-related macular degeneration

RP Finger, SS Wickremasinghe, PN Baird… - Survey of …, 2014 - Elsevier
Currently available evidence on predictors of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
treatment response in neovascular age-related macular degeneration was reviewed. No
meta-analysis of results is possible because of a lack of controlled and randomized trials,
varying treatment regimes and outcome measures used, as well as suboptimal reporting.
For genetic factors, most evidence to date has been generated for single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in the complement factor H (CFH), and VEGF-A genes. Just under …
