Figure 1. Meta-analysis of the V16A variant for its association with neovascular AMD. Odds ratios (ORs, black squares) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs, bars) are presented for each study. Also shown is the shaded diamond of the summary OR using the random-effects model of DerSimonian and Laird [52]. The genotype data included in the meta-analysis refer to the description of Kimura et al. [33] and Gotoh et al. [35]. Heterogeneity between studies was tested using Cochran’s Q statistic [53,54] and the I2 statistic for inconsistency [53,54]. Abbreviations: AMD represents age-related macular degeneration.
