COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD FOR TREATING COMPLEMENT-ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS

To provide methods for selecting and identifying a patient for treating with a factor D inhibitor.SOLUTION: Provided is a method of predicting progression rate of a degenerative disease in a patient having the degenerative disease, the method comprising: (a) determining the presence of at least one degenerative disease-associated polymorphism in a biological sample obtained from the patient by (i) providing a nucleic acid sample isolated from the biological sample, and (ii) detecting the genotype of the nucleic acid sample for the presence of at least one degenerative disease-associated polymorphism, the polymorphism being a risk allele selected from the group consisting of a CFI allele, a CFH allele, a C2 allele, a CFB allele, or a C3 allele; and (b) identifying the patient as more likely to have increased rate of progression of the degenerative disease, when at least one risk allele selected from the group consisting of a CFI allele, a CFH allele, a C2 allele, a CFB allele, or a C3 allele is present.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7.
