Abstract

Age-related macular maculopathy (ARM) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the leading causes of blindness in the Western world. Despite the magnitude of this clinical problem, very little is known about the pathogenesis of the disease. In this study, we analysed the sera (using indirect immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis) from a very large cohort of such patients and normal age-matched controls to detect circulating anti-retinal antibodies. Patients with bilateral drusen (n = 64) and with chorioretinal neovascularization (CNV) (n = 51) were recruited in addition to age-matched control subjects (n = 39). The sera were analysed for anti-retinal immunoglobulins on retinal sections. The data were then correlated with the clinical features graded according to the International Classification and Grading System of ARM and AMD. The sera of patients with drusen (93.75%) and CNV (82.27%) were found to have a significantly (P = 0.02) higher titre of autoantibodies to the retina in comparison with controls (8.69%), indicating significant evidence of involvement of the immune process in early stages of AMD. Subsequent statistical analysis of the drusen group showed significant progressive staining (P = 0.0009) in the nuclei layers from early to late stages of ARM. Western blotting confirmed the presence of anti-retinal immunoglobulins to retinal antigens. As anti-retinal immunoglobulins are present in patients with bilateral drusen and exudative AMD, these antibodies could play a significant role in the pathogenesis of AMD. Whilst we do not have evidence that these antibodies precede disease onset, the possibility that their presence might contribute to disease progression needs to be investigated. Finally, the eventual identification of the target antigens detected by these antibodies may permit the future development of new diagnostic methods for ARM and AMD.

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.
