Re: CFH gene for AMD
The majority of drugs and drug candidates for AMD are targeting VEGF. This does not mean that VEGF is the best target to target, only that VEGF is the best validated target to target.
In the minds of drug-development companies, VEGF officially became validated when Avastin showed a survival benefit in colorectal cancer,
It will probably be several years before an AMD drug candidate emerges for the CFH gene. For investors in such companies as GENR, EYET, ALNY, and GNVC, this is a development to watch but not one to worry about unduly.
