The ARMS2 gene provides instructions for making a protein whose function is unknown. Studies suggest that the ARMS2 protein is found primarily in the placenta and in the specialized light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye (the retina).GHR
Certain variants in the ARMS2 gene increase risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, a common cause of vision loss in older adults. The best-studied of these variations is rs10490924.
