Influence of Alzheimer's disease genes on cognitive decline: the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cognitive decline is a reduction in cognitive ability usually associated with aging, and those with more extreme cognitive decline either have or are at risk of progressing to mild cognitive impairment and dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD). We hypothesized that genetic variants predisposing to AD should be predictive of cognitive decline in elderly individuals. We selected 1325 subjects with extreme cognitive decline and 1083 well-matched control subjects from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study in which more than 30,000 southern Chinese older people have been recruited and followed up. Thirty single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 29 AD-associated genes were genotyped. No statistically significant allelic associations with cognitive decline were found by individual variant analysis. At the level of genotypic association, we confirmed that the APOE ε4 homozygote significantly accelerated cognitive decline and found that carriers of the ACE rs1800764_C allele were more likely to show cognitive decline than noncarriers, particularly in those without college education. However, these effects do not survive after multiple testing corrections, and together they only explain 1.7% of the phenotypic variance in cognitive score change. This study suggests that AD risk variants and/or genes are not powerful predictors of cognitive decline in our Chinese sample.

Effect of Alzheimer's disease risk genes on trajectories of cognitive function in the Cardiovascular Health Study.
OBJECTIVE The trajectory of cognitive decline in patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease varies widely. Genetic variations in CLU, PICALM, and CR1 are associated with Alzheimer's disease, but it is unknown whether they exert their effects by altering cognitive trajectory in elderly individuals at risk for the disease. METHOD The authors developed a Bayesian model to fit cognitive traject...
متن کاملThe Effect of Endurance Training on the Expression of PRDX6 and KAT2B Genes in Hippocampus of Beta Amyloid-Induced Rat Model of Alzheimer's Disease: An Experimental Study
Background and Objectives: Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. KAT2B (Lysine Acetyltransferase 2B) is a mitochondrial protein known as mitochondria clearing control organ by mitophagy. PRDX6 (Peroxiredoxin 6) is a key regulator of mitophagy and plays a critical role in maintaining mitochondrial ROS (Reactive oxygen species) homeostasis. Therefore, the purpose of this study ...

متن کاملPlasma EGF and cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease
OBJECTIVE Cognitive decline occurs in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Shared underlying mechanisms may exist and manifest as shared biomarker signatures. Previously, we nominated plasma epidermal growth factor (EGF) as a biomarker predicting cognitive decline in patients with established PD. Here, we investigate EGF as a pred...
