摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for estimating the risk factor (HR) for the onset of macular degeneration in a subject, which method comprises the evaluation of a first series of genetic parameters comprising at least the genetic loci R1210C in CFH, variants in COL8A1 and RAD51 B, and the evaluation of a second series of environmental, individual and/or clinical parameters. This method is characterized in that said risk factor (HR) is calculated by assigning a greater importance to said evaluation of the first series of genetic parameters with respect to said evaluation of the second series of environmental, individual and/or clinical parameters. The method of the present invention thus allows to estimate the genetic risk of AMD more accurately than the methods known in the art.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of xanthan gum as re-epithelializing agent and, in particular, to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising xanthan gum as a re-epithelializing active principle. Said use and composition speed up and improve advantageously the formation of newly grown epithelium.
