Testing for age-related macular degeneration may be useful to physicians and select patients in specific clinical scenarios, and, as with all emerging diagnostic or therapeutic innovations, an awareness regarding the limitations of testing, the need for additional data, and need for appropriate patient...
The lifetime risks for the individuals ranged from 1.4% to 16.1% in the DTC tests, while they varied from 0.5% to 4.2% in the validated prediction model. Most important reasons for the differences in risks were the testing of only a limited set of genetic markers, the choice of the ...
BACKGROUND: Our purpose was to investigate central visual function in North Carolina macular dystrophy (MCDR1). A German family with genetically proven MCDR1 was followed for more than 20 years. METHODS: In addition to routine clinical examinations, static and kinetic fundus perimetry was performed...
Recent research has shown that we may be able to identify AMD-affected individuals even earlier by testing for impaired dark adaptation. Learn how this discovery can translate to early detection and intervention of age-related macular degeneration. Privacy...

The ADA testing strategy for protein therapeutics was established almost two decades ago when assay methodologies were rudimentary, and serious immunogenic
Purpose The vulnerability of rod photoreceptors in aging and early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been well documented. Rod-mediated dark adaptation (RMDA) is a measure of the recovery of light sensitivity in rod photoreceptors following a bright light. Delays in RMDA ...
