Zusammenfassung:Allelic variations in the genes PLEKHAI and LOC387715 are identified herein as risk factor for Age Related Maculopathy (ARM). A method id therefore provided for identifying a risk of development of ARM in an individual that comprises identification of allelic variations in PLEKHAI and/or LOC387715 . Related apparatus, such as an array, are identified as being useful in implementing those methods.
