Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the concordance of age-related macular degenerative changes in monozygotic twins. PATIENTS: Between 1984 and 1993, we examined a total of nine pairs of monozygotic twins with substantial age-related macular degenerative changes in at least one member of the pair, ranging from extensive large drusen to advanced atrophic and/or disciform scarring. Eight pairs were female and one pair was male. Ages ranged from 62 to 88 years. Monozygosity was confirmed by genetic testing in each of the seven twin pairs on whom it was performed. RESULTS: In eight of the nine twin pairs, the fundus appearance and the incidence of visual impairment were similar. In the ninth pair, one twin had advanced exudative age-related macular degeneration with vision loss in one eye, while the other had large, confluent drusen and good visual function in both eyes. Environmental factor, including diet, geographic background, and medical history, were essentially similar in the twin pairs. CONCLUSION: Although selection factors and similar environmental influences might impact our findings, the markedly similar incidence of macular degenerative changes in these monozygotic twins suggests that a substantial genetic component may exist in a potentially large proportion of patients with age-related macular degeneration. Further studies are warranted to define this hereditary influence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
