AREDS was sponsored by the National Eye Institute.
AREDs was a long-term clinical trial designed to study AMD and glaucoma.
AREDS began in 1992 and collected over 10 years of data.
AREDS evaluated the effects of high doses of antioxidants and zinc on the progression of AMD and vision loss.

Genetic material is arranged in 26 pairs of chromosomes, 1 set from each parent.
Genes are composed of DNA.
Different variations of genes are called alleles.
Phenotype may be affected by environmental factors.
