Two-millimeter punch biopsies were removed from macular/foveal, perimacular, temporal, and nasal regions of the retina.  Following the biopsy, the tissues were separated into layers of neural retina and RPE/choroid using microdissection techniques. otal RNA was isolated from fresh tissues using the PicoPure™ RNA Isolation Kit (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) following mortar and pestle tissue homogenization.  Extracted RNA samples were checked for quality using the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and only samples with RIN value > 6.5 were used (Range 1 – 10).
