Methods for predicting an individual's genetic risk for developing ARMD is disclosed, as are arrays and kits which can be used to practice the method. The method includes screening for mutations and/or polymorphisms in ARMD-associated molecules, such as CFH, LOC387715, BF, C2, ABCR, Fibulin 5, VMD2, TLR4, CX3CR1, CST3, MnSOD, MEHE, paraoxonase, APOE, ELOVL4 and hemicentin-1. |
