<title>Introduction</title> <p>Several genes have now been associated with the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The most consistently identified genetic variants lie within the regulators of complement activation (RCA) locus on chromosome 1, principally the gene <italic>complement factor H</italic> (<italic>CFH)</italic> [##REF##15761121##1##, ####REF##15761120##2##, ##REF##15761122##3####15761122##3##], and the 10q26 chromosomal region [##REF##16080115##4##, ####REF##16642439##5##, ##REF##16174643##6####16174643##6##]. Association analyses of this latter locus initially implicated the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link>, located in the coding sequence of a gene now known as <italic>age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2</italic> (ARMS2) [##REF##16080115##4##, ####REF##16642439##5##, ##REF##16174643##6####16174643##6##], to be the variant most likely associated with AMD. Subsequent rigorous sequencing of the region revealed a polymorphism, <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link>, in the promoter of the adjacent gene, <italic>HtrA serine peptidase 1</italic> (<italic>HTRA1)</italic>, some 7 kb downstream of <italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic>, to be also associated with advanced AMD [##UREF##0##7##,##UREF##1##8##]. To date, this finding has been corroborated in two other Caucasian [##REF##17426452##9##,##REF##17210851##10##] one central European [##REF##17679948##11##], and one Japanese [##REF##17438519##12##] populations.</p> <p>Intriguingly, both <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link> and <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> are in almost complete linkage disequilibrium in all cohorts examined thus far (D' &gt;0.98) [##UREF##0##7##,##REF##17438519##12##,##REF##17962488##13##], limiting the ability of genetic association analyses to resolve the functional variant. Initial molecular biologic analyses suggest that the promoter SNP in <italic>HTRA1</italic>, a gene that encodes a heat shock serine protease found in retinal tissues, produces a change in the expression level of the gene [##UREF##0##7##,##UREF##1##8##]. Interestingly, HTRA1 expression has been reported to increase with age [##REF##16377621##14##].</p> <p>Most recently, <italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic> has been suggested to encode a mitochondrial-associated protein that is also found in the retina. The polymorphism which results in the substitution of serine-for-alanine at position 69 may result in misfolding of the protein [##REF##17884985##15##].</p> <p>In this article, we present further analyses of the 10q26 polymorphisms in a Caucasian population from the USA with advanced AMD (both geographic atrophy and choroidal neovascularization) and assess joint effects of the <italic>HTRA1</italic> <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> SNP, the <italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic> SNP <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link> (A69S), and the <italic>CFH</italic> SNP <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=1061170">rs1061170</ext-link> (Y402H).</p>
<title>Methods</title> <title>Phenotyping</title> <p>Sporadic advanced cases (average age 79 years of age, range 60 to 100 years of age) and controls (average age 74, range 63 to 92 years of age, ##TAB##0##Table 1##) of Northern European Caucasian descent were ascertained from the clinical practices of P.F. and M.K. Diagnosis of AMD in was based upon the presence of geographic atrophy or choroidal neovascularization (CNV; equivalent to Age-Related Eye Disease Study [AREDS] category 4) [##REF##10588299##16##]. Control subjects were at least 60 years of age, with no signs of AMD (defined as no drusen larger than 63 μm in diameter; equivalent to AREDS category 1).</p> <p>One hundred and eight patients with geographic atrophy (GA) together with 205 patients with CNV, 20 with both GA and CNV, and 171 age-matched examined controls were ascertained. Informed consent was obtained from all participants, and the procedures used conformed to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki.</p> <title>Genotyping</title> <p>Genotyping of <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=1061170">rs1061170</ext-link>, <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link>, and <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> was performed as described previously [##REF##16541016##17##]. Specifically, PCR was performed using primers designed to amplify the genomic region containing each SNP (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link> forward: 5′-GGT GGT TCC TGT GTC CTT CA-3′, reverse: 5′-GGG GTA AGG CCT GAT CAT CT-3′; <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> forward: 5′-CGG ATG CAC CAA AGA TTC TCC-3′, reverse: 5′-TTC GCG TCC TTC AAA CTA ATG G-3′). Following amplification, genotype determination was performed on the PCR products using either temperature gradient capillary electrophoresis (TGCE; REVEAL; SpectruMedix, State College, PA) or through direct sequencing using CEQ2000XL DNA analysis system (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA).</p> <title>Statistical analyses</title> <p>Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) χ<sup>2</sup> values in the entire sample and controls alone were calculated to identify possible genotyping errors. No extreme deviations (i.e., χ<sup>2</sup> &gt; 50) were observed (##TAB##1##Table 2##). Linkage disequilibrium (LD) was measured by the D' value. For each SNP, Pearson’s χ<sup>2</sup> tests with one degree of freedom for association were performed. Odds ratios (OR) and their respective confidence intervals were calculated, [##UREF##2##18##]. Both SNPHAP and PHASE were used to estimate the haplotype frequencies and to reconstruct the diplotype (haplotype pair) for each sample. Consistent results obtained by using both algorithms were taken for further regression analyses.</p> <p>Joint ORs for two SNPs (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> and complement factor H (<italic>CFH</italic>) Y402H, previously genotyped) were calculated using standard methods [##UREF##3##19##]. Marginal ORs and their confidence intervals for the two SNPs were calculated using logistic regression with SNPs <italic>CFH</italic> Y402H and <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> as independent variables [##UREF##3##19##]. The standard logistic regression models for marginal and joint effect (effect of marker X<sub>i</sub> controlled for marker X<sub>j</sub>) are formulated as logit(p)=β<sub>0</sub> + β<sub>1</sub>X<sub>1</sub> and logit(p)=β<sub>0</sub> + β<sub>1</sub>X<sub>1</sub> + β<sub>2</sub>X<sub>2</sub>, respectively. For highly correlated SNPs (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link> and <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link>), an interaction term was incorporated in the model: logit(p)=β<sub>0</sub> + β<sub>1</sub>X<sub>1</sub> + β<sub>2</sub>X<sub>2</sub> + β<sub>3</sub>X<sub>1</sub>×X<sub>2</sub>.</p> <p>To assess the statistical significance of the effect, the likelihood ratio test is performed. To control for confounding, the Mantel-Hanzel (M-H) test for association with two variables was used [##UREF##3##19##]. Four genotypic models were considered (Full, Recessive, Multiplicative, and Dominant) and the conventional Aikake information criterion (AIC) [##UREF##4##20##] was used to assess the fit of each model.</p>
<title>Results</title> <p>In our US Caucasian case-control cohort, the <italic>HTRA1</italic> <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> SNP showed strong disease association with both advanced forms of AMD, p&lt;10<sup>−10</sup> (geographic atrophy), p&lt;10<sup>−16</sup> (neovascularization), and p&lt;10<sup>−20</sup> for pooled phenotypes. The <italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic> <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link> SNP showed similar levels of association. Strong association is also confirmed between disease status and the <italic>CFH</italic> SNP <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=1061170">rs1061170</ext-link> (##TAB##1##Table 2##).</p> <p>The two 10q26 SNPs, <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> and <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link>, were also in strong linkage disequilibrium (D'=0.80), though not in complete LD as all possible diplotypes were found in the population. ##TAB##2##Table 3## shows how the four potential haplotypes produced by the two SNPs were distributed; AMD cases were approximately three times more likely to have the high risk haplotype <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link> ‘T’ + <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> ‘A’ than controls.</p> <p>##TAB##3##Table 4## shows joint and marginal odds ratios for the <italic>HTRA1</italic> and <italic>CFH</italic> SNPs. Odds ratios of having the disease rise to almost 200 in individuals who are homozygous for the risk alleles in both genes. Similar odds ratios are observed for the <italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic> and <italic>CFH</italic> SNP (##TAB##4##Table 5##). When joint odds ratios were computed for the two highly correlated SNPs on 10q26 and the interaction terms considered in the regression model, the resulting confidence interval encompasses 0 and ∞ due to insufficient sample size in each cell (##TAB##5##Table 6##).</p> <p>Haplotype analyses of these two closely located SNPs were therefore employed using SNPHAP and PHASE programs (##TAB##6##Table 7##). Under the regression framework, no interaction was detected between the 10q26 haplotypes and the <italic>CFH</italic> SNP (##TAB##7##Table 8##). After dropping the interaction term the effect of one controlled for the other can be estimated and tested for significance based on the likelihood ratio test (##TAB##8##Table 9##). Estimated haplotype frequencies, diplotype counts, odds ratio, and p-values for testing independ for all observed diplotypes are provided in ##TAB##9##Table 10##.</p>
<title>Discussion</title> <p>Our data confirm the association between advanced AMD (both geographic atrophy and CNV) and the 10q26 SNPs <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=11200638">rs11200638</ext-link> (<italic>HTRA1</italic> promoter) and <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=10490924">rs10490924</ext-link> (<italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic> A69S), independent of the <italic>CFH</italic> Y402H polymorphism. In all previous papers which examined linkage disequilibrium in the 10q26 region, these two SNPs have been reported to be in almost complete linkage disequilibrium [##UREF##0##7##,##REF##17962488##13##]. This was not the case in our population where the D' between the SNPs was 0.80. This is a critical finding as it does indicate that other studies using larger populations may be able to determine which of the two 10q26 SNPs may be contributing most to disease status. The number of individuals in our study was too small to permit this. Odds ratios of having advanced AMD, when adjusted for the <italic>CFH</italic> SNP, were not significantly different for either of the 10q26 SNPs genotyped in our cohort. Each of the two SNPs also confers similar odd ratios when combined with the <italic>CFH</italic> SNP. Neither SNP was more clearly associated with disease status nor with advanced AMD phenotype though arguably if our cohort is enlarged substantially it might be possible to distinguish which SNP contribute the most risk.</p> <p>Previous studies [##REF##17347568##21##] have not identified gene-locus interaction between <italic>CFH</italic> and the region on chromosome 10q26. Our analyses are in agreement with this. Thus it seems likely that <italic>CFH</italic> and 10q26 contribute independently to AMD development, at least at the genomic level.</p> <p>There remains an enormous amount to be learned about the genetic etiology of AMD. Nonetheless, there is little question that either <italic>HTRA1</italic> and/or <italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic> or a 10q26 haplotype that expands more than two SNPs play a crucial role in determining the advanced AMD phenotypes. Functional consequences from the polymorphisms of <italic>LOC387715/ARMS2</italic> or <italic>HTRA1,</italic> or even <italic>CFH,</italic> have yet to be determined. Our current data indicate that in a Caucasian population from the USA, the <italic>HTRA1</italic> promoter SNP is strongly associated with advanced AMD but appears to exert its effect independently of <italic>CFH</italic>.</p>
