Embodiment Construction

[0064] The inventors have discovered that increasing HTRA1 mRNA and / or protein levels in the eye (eg, retinal pigment epithelium) provides a beneficial effect in subjects suffering from or at risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In particular, increasing HTRA1 mRNA and / or protein levels provides a beneficial effect in patients suffering from the manifestations of chromosome 10-directed AMD (or "Chr 10AMD") or who are genetically predisposed to develop chromosome 10-directed AMD.

[0065] The present disclosure provides methods and agents for treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD), preventing its development, slowing its progression, reversing or ameliorating its symptoms and signs by increasing the expression or amount of HTRA1 in the eyes of a subject in need of treatment .

[0066] Methods of treating Chr 10AMD, preventing its development, slowing its progression, reversing or ameliorating its signs and symptoms are described. The method compr...
