The AHAF funding has been essential in enabling a large, collaborative research study on the genetics of AMD. We have been able to use this grant to prepare for a much larger project by enhancing the value of our established patient resources and ensuring that we have funding for the data analyses. Essentially, the AHAF and other funds available to us at this time have been leveraged into a $3.5 million genotyping project funded by the National Eye Institute. This project is expected to revolutionize our understanding of AMD by helping identify many of the remaining and unknown genetic risks for AMD.
