Interleukin 17 levels were measured by ELISA method using the blood sera of 100 patients diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration and 100 healthy individuals in the control group. Acording to the results of the study, the differences between the patient and control groups of interleukin 17 levels was found statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p:0,001; p > 0,05);. It was found that gender difference in patients did not affect interleukin 17 levels insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0,649; p > 0,05);.
