    ABSTRACT: Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the main cause of severe vision loss in elderly populations of the developed world with limited therapeutic medications available. It is a multifactorial disease with a strong genetic susceptibility which exhibits the differential genetic landscapes among different ethnic groups. Methods: To investigate the Han Chinese-specific genetic variants for AMD development and progression, we have presented a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 339 AMD cases and 3,390 controls of a Han Chinese population recruited from the Taiwan Precision Medicine Initiative (TPMI). Results: In this study, we have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with AMD, including rs10490924, rs3750848, and rs375
