Levels of complement proteins
To assess the correlation between circulating levels of complement proteins measured using the Complement Precision Medicine (CPM) Platform and Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Time frame: Month 6, 12,18, 24
Geographic Atrophy
To investigate whether there is a relationship between progression of GA and complement profile measured using the CPM platform
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Genetics
To investigate the relationship between variants in genes or loci associated with AMD and the complement profile measured using the CPM platform
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Complement Proteins Intra-individual Variation
To determine the intra-individual variation in complement profile using the Complement Precision Medicine (CPM) Platform, in participants with GA
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Complement Proteins and Progression of GA
To investigate whether there is a relationship between progression of GA and complement profile measured using the Complement Precision Medicine (CPM) platform
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Choroidal Blood Flow and Genetics
To investigate the relationship in genes or loci associated with AMD and choroidal blood flow and structure
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Choroidal Blood Flow and GA Lesion Progression
To investigate the relationships between choroidal blood flow and structure and GA lesion progression
