Macular Degeneration
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this collection is to search for susceptibility genes for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) alone or in combination with environmental factors and to look for genes that modulate the AMD phenotype (particularly the response to treatment).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age\> 55 years * Diagnosis of exudative or atrophic AMD in at least one eye * Patient informed of the objectives of the study and having freely signed the informed consent letter * Patient affiliated to a social security scheme
Exclusion criteria
* Other retinal or choroidal lesion in the studied eye * History of severe systemic disease that could potentially hinder patient adherence to the study protocol: mental disorder, cancer, recent stroke or heart failure less than 3 months old. * Known allergy to fluorescein, indocyanine green, iodine or ranibizumab
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Genotypic factors | 6 months | Identification of genotypic factors associated with good or poor response to treatment in precisely phenotyped AMD patients. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Predictive markers | 6 months | Look for predictive markers of cure response among polymorphisms that are susceptibility factors for AMD |
| Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor | 6 months | Look for predictors of treatment response among polymorphisms of other genes: Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor |
| Environmental factors | 6 months | Look for predictive markers of treatment response among environmental factors |
| Predictive treatment response score | 6 months | Create a predictive treatment response score that combines factors independently associated with the response to treatment in multivariate analysis |
| Circulating biological factors | 6 months | Identification of circulating biological factors such as circulating fatty acids at risk of AMD or modulating the response to treatment. |
