Monozygotic twins with age-related macular degeneration

S M Meyers et al. Arch Ophthalmol. 1988 May.

This clinical study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first report of severe age-related macular degeneration in both identical twins, documented as monozygotic by genetic testing. This suggests that genetic factors may be of primary importance in certain cases of age-related macular degeneration.
