▶Ethnic variation in AMD-associated complement factor H polymorphism p.Tyr402HisAssociationN=514Michael A. Grassi et al.(2006)· Human Mutation
This study documents ethnic variation in the CFH p.Tyr402His (rs1061170, c.1204T>C) polymorphism, a known AMD risk factor (OR ~2.5-4.6 in Caucasians). The risk allele C frequency varies widely across populations: Japanese 7%, Hispanic 17%, African American 35%, Caucasian 34%, and Somali 34%. The findings suggest additional genetic or protective factors beyond CFH contribute to the ethnic differences in AMD prevalence.
About CFH
This gene is a member of the Regulator of Complement Activation (RCA) gene cluster and encodes a protein with twenty short consensus repeat (SCR) domains. This protein is secreted into the bloodstream and has an essential role in the regulation of complement activation, restricting this innate defense mechanism to microbial infections. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) and chronic hypocomplementemic nephropathy. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
