摘要
High temperature requirement 1 (HTRA1) gene is a plausible risk factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD) as it encodes a protease known to degrade amyloid-beta peptide. Here we have studied whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HTRA1 gene or its nearby regions associated with AD in a large clinic-based case control cohort originating from Finland. We did not observe significant association of the HTRA1 SNPs with AD among the whole case control cohort or age-at-onset risk effect among AD patients. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
