Figure 4. Meta-analysis of
rs841853 for its association with all AMD cases (
A), early (
B), GA (
C), CNV (
D), mixed (
E), CNV + mixed (
F), and late AMD (
G) cases in six independent study populations. AMD=age-related macular degeneration; GA=geographic atrophy; CNV=choroidal neovascularization;
Mixed cases (combination of GA + CNV). Odds ratios (ORs, squares) and 95% confidence intervals (CI; horizontal lines) are
presented for each study. Also shown is the black diamond of the summary OR using either the additive Mantel-Haenszel fixed
effects model when heterogeneity was absent (
I2 <25%) or the additive DerSimonian and Laird random effects model when heterogeneity was present (
I2 >25%). Heterogeneity between studies was tested using Cochran's Q statistic and the I-square statistic for inconsistency.
