摘要:
Background: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a dementing condition featuring characteristic symptoms, ventriculomegaly, and normal or slightly elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure. In Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, diffuse aggregates of amyloid-beta (A beta) and neurofibrillary hyperphosphorylated tau are detected in the neocortex of the brain, while similar accumulation of A beta is also detected in iNPH. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several novel risk loci for AD, potentially affecting A beta-related cellular processes. Apart from the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele (APOE4), the risk effect of single loci is low, emphasizing the importance of the polygenic risk score approach when assessing the combined effects. Objective: To study the effects of AD-associated individual and polygenic risk score of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the accumulation of A beta in the brain samples of iNPH patients. Methods: A sample set of frontal cortex biopsies from 188 iNPH patients were divided into two groups according to the A beta pathology. After the genotyping of the AD-associated risk loci, polygenic risk score was calculated for each iNPH patient and subsequently analyzed in relation to A beta deposition. Results: Apart from the APOE4, none of the SNPs revealed a statistically significant effect on the accumulation of A beta in iNPH. Also, the non-APOE4 polygenic risk score did not associate with A beta deposition. Conclusion: Novel AD-associated risk genes have no significant effect on A beta accumulation in the brain of iNPH patients. However, APOE4 affects the A beta deposition in the brain of iNPH and AD patients in a similar manner.
