Controlling for age, sex, education, smoking, body mass index, and antioxidant treatment, the number of minor (T) alleles of the genes LIPC and ABCA1 were significantly associated with a reduced risk of intermediate drusen (LIPC [P trend = 0.045], ABCA1 [P = 4.4 × 10(-3)]), large drusen (LIPC [P = 0.041], ABCA1 [P = 7.7 × 10(-4)]), and advanced AMD (LIPC [P = 1.8 × 10(-3)], ABCA1 [P = 3 × 10(-4)]).
