Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does mFGE8 influence chorio-retinal homeostasis or choroidal neovascularization in vivo?
Answer: Despite a reproducible minor increase of rs1878326 in AMD patients and a very modest increase in BM in Mfge8(-/-) mice, our data suggests that MFGE8 dysfunction does not play a critical role in the pathogenesis of AMD.
Output (English): no
