Key PointsQuestionAre there common genetic variants contributing to progression of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration? FindingsThis pooled analysis combines data from 4 independent studies assessing progression of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration. The correlation between square root–transformed geographic atrophy growth rate and more than 7 million genetic variants was estimated, and 2 gene loci with genome-wide significance were identified as geographic atrophy progression–associated candidates: protein arginine methyltransferase 6 (chromosome 1) and lanosterol synthase (chromosome 21). MeaningGene prioritization within 2 identified loci as geographic atrophy progression–associated candidates, providing a basis for future functional studies exploring mechanisms of atrophic lesion growth.

This cross-sectional study assesses whether intraocular cataract lens replacement in older patients with previous cataract is associated with the beneficial light effects on the circadian system, cognition, and sleep regulation.
