| Abstract | PURPOSE: To determine whether genetic variants in the lipid-associated genes are related to the risk of developing polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in a Japanese population. METHODS: Five hundred eighty-one patients with PCV and 793 controls were enrolled in the study. Association analysis of allele and genotype frequencies was performed for the following single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in blood: rs493258 at the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC), rs3764261 at the cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene (CETP), and rs12678919 at the lipoprotein lipase gene (LPL). A further model adjusting for age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) A69S, complement factor H (CFH) I62V, age, sex, and smoking status was used to confirm the independent association of these SNPs with other covariates. RESULTS: CETP rs3764261 was significantly associated with the development of PCV; the frequency of the minor allele A was higher in the PCV cases (24.0%) than in the control subjects (18.5%) (P = 0.0025; odds ratio [OR], 1.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-1.75). Furthermore, we found an independent association of CETP variants with age, sex, smoking status, and genetic background of ARMS2 A69S, CFH I62V, LIPC rs493258, and LPL rs12678919 (P = 0.0013; OR, 1.50). LIPC rs493258 and LPL rs12678919 did not show significant associations with the development of PCV (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: CETP variants are associated a risk of developing PCV among the Japanese population. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
