# OCT image and visual acuity data

FinnGen AMD data contains OCT images and visual acuity (VA) measurements for AMD patients in FinnGen.

These clinical data are used in combination with genetic, medication, and proteomic datasets to identify markers predictive of progression and/or the speed of progression from intermediate AMD to late AMD.

Currently (September 2025) there are images for ca 800 patients in the Sandbox (2/6 hospital biobanks).

The data and documentation are available in Sandbox red library:

```
/finngen/library-red/task_force_data/AMD/OCT_images/
```

FinnGen AMD Task Force data contains OCT images and visual acuity (VA) measurements for AMD patients in FinnGen.

The data and documentation are available in Sandbox red library:

/finngen/library-red/task\_force\_data/AMD/OCT\_images/
