First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a macular degeneration patient with a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, comprising the steps of: determining whether the patient has one or more of the genetic variants rs2056688, rs5962084, rs5962087, rs5915722, and rs5962095, by performing or having performed a genotype assay on a DNA sample obtained from the patient; and modifying the dosing frequency after about one year of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient from about every 8 weeks to about every 9 to 12 weeks to a patient having one or more of the genetic variants; or modifying the dosing frequency after about one year of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient from about every 8 weeks to about every 4 to 6 weeks to a patient not having one or more of the genetic variants. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetic variant is rs5962087. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetic variant is rs5962084. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetic variant is rs2056688. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the VEGF inhibitor is ranibizumab or aflibercept. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the VEGF inhibitor is aflibercept. 7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the VEGF inhibitor is aflibercept. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosing frequency of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient having one or more of the genetic variants is modified from about every 8 weeks to about every 9 weeks. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosing frequency of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient having one or more of the genetic variants is modified from about every 8 weeks to about every 10. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosing frequency of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient having one or more of the genetic variants is modified from about every 8 weeks to about every 11 weeks. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosing frequency of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient having one or more of the genetic variants is modified from about every 8 weeks to about every 12 weeks. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosing frequency of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient not having one or more of the genetic variants is modified from about every 8 weeks to about every 4 weeks. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosing frequency of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient not having one or more of the genetic variants is modified from about every 8 weeks to about every 5 weeks. 14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosing frequency of administering about 2 mg of the VEGF inhibitor to the patient not having one or more of the genetic variants is modified from about every 8 weeks to about every 6 weeks. 15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetic variant is rs5915722. 16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetic variant is rs5962095.
