摘要：

Genetic studies of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most prevalent blinding condition among the elderly, have had both great success and deep controversy. A new study now begins to resolve contradictory views over two candidate genes at a major AMD locus on chromosome 10q26 by suggesting a functional variant in one of these genes.
