Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of GSK3B, GAB2 and SORL1 in late-onset Alzheimer's disease: interactions with the APOE genotype
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we investigated the associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms in GAB2 (rs2373115), GSK3B (rs6438552) and SORL1 (rs641120) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), both alone and in combination with the APOE*4 allele.

Validating predicted biological effects of Alzheimer's disease associated SNPs using CSF biomarker levels.
Recent large-scale genetic studies of late-onset Alzheimer's disease have identified risk variants in CALHM1, GAB2, and SORL1. The mechanisms by which these genes might modulate risk are not definitively known. CALHM1 and SORL1 may alter amyloid-β (Aβ) levels and GAB2 may influence phosphorylation of the tau protein. In this study we have analyzed disease associated genetic variants in each of ...
متن کاملThe role of genetics in alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy) and brain cells die. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and causes a decrease in thinking skills and social behaviors. Alzheimer's disease is more common in people over 65 years old. The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia increases with age,...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of genetic variants in sortilin-related receptor (SORL1), which has been proposed as an important genetic contributor to late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD). DESIGN We analyzed 13 SORL1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the relative haplotypes in a case-control association study. PARTICIPANTS The sample included 708 Italian subjects: 251 unr...
متن کاملImpact of SORL1 single nucleotide polymorphisms on Alzheimer's disease cerebrospinal fluid markers.
BACKGROUND Recently, genetic variants of the neuronal sortilin-related receptor with A-type repeats (SORL1, also called LR11 or sorLA) have emerged as risk factors for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS In this study, SORL1 gene polymorphisms, which have been shown to be related to AD, were analyzed for associations with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid beta1-42 (Aβ(1-42)),...
متن کاملSystematic analysis of candidate genes for Alzheimer's disease in a French, genome-wide association study.
We selected twenty genes from the "Top Results" list on the AlzGene database website and assessed their association with risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a large, genome-wide association study (using 526 SNPs from 2,032 AD cases and 5,328 controls) performed in France. The APOE, CLU, PICALM, and CR1 loci were excluded, since they had already been extensively analyzed. Ten genes/lo...
