| Abstrakt: | Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is a progressive ocular disease, responsible for central visual loss and blindness in elderly population. Increase data demonstrate that genetic factors play an important role in pathogenesis process of this disease. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between rs3732378 polymorphism in CX3CR1 gene and nAMD in a sample of Algerian patients. This case-control study consisted of 72 patients with nAMD and 124 control subjects. DNA of participants was extracted using salting out method. Genotyping was carried out using the TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction method. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS.21.0. The prevalence of the risk genotype AA was higher in the nAMD group than in control group (OR=5.02, 95% CI=1.44-17.4, P=0.011). In our sample of Algerian patients, the rs3732378 polymorphism is associated with nAMD. This result may support the role of CX3CR1 gene in the pathogenesis of nAMD.
