Hello. As my 2 brothers and I all have AMD I just wanted to know if anyone out there is doing research on possible genetic links. None of us are aware of any visual impairment in the older generations but it seems unusual that we three siblings have the condition (my 2 sisters don't ). We also have thyroid condition in 5 family members What a bunch!

Dear Catseyes235,
At the Macular Society we have a Genetic Support service providing information and counselling for people with Juvenile Macular Dystrophies and their families.
Please see some information on our website here:

We also have a research manager to whom you could email through Help@macularsociety.org
or ring us on 0300 30 30 111 which is open 9.00-17.00 Mon-Fri and we can put you through to her.
I hope this is helpful to you
