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.
据我们所知,这项临床研究首次报告了一对同卵双胞胎均患有严重的年龄相关性黄斑变性,基因检测证实他们为单卵双胞胎。这表明在某些年龄相关性黄斑变性病例中,遗传因素可能至关重要。
