Interaction between the alpha-T catenin gene (VR22) and APOE in Alzheimer's disease.
BACKGROUND APOE is the only gene that has been consistently replicated as a risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease. Several recent studies have identified linkage to chromosome 10 for both risk and age of onset, suggesting that this region harbours genes that influence the development of the disease. A recent study reported association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in t...
متن کاملIdentification of Genetic Polymorphism Interactions in Sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease Using Logic Regression
Objectives: Genetic polymorphism interactions are among the important factors in affliction with complex diseases like Alzheimer’s disease. The important goal of genetic association studies is to identify a combination of polymorphisms and measure their importance in increasing the risk of occurrence of such diseases. In this study, feature selection approach of logic regression was used to ide...
متن کاملFine mapping of the alpha-T catenin gene to a quantitative trait locus on chromosome 10 in late-onset Alzheimer's disease pedigrees.
Using plasma amyloid beta protein (Abeta42) levels as an intermediate, quantitative phenotype for late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), we previously obtained significant linkage at approximately 80 cM on chromosome 10. Linkage to the same region was obtained independently in a study of affected LOAD sib-pairs. Together, these two studies provide strong evidence for a novel LOAD locus on chrom...
متن کاملAssociation study between DNA methylation and genetic variation of APOE gene with the risk of coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common health problem with a high rate of disability and death. Dyslipidemia and altered metabolism of Apo-lipoproteins are involved in the CAD pathogenesis. The current study investigated two common polymorphisms (rs429358 and rs7412) and promoter DNA methylation status of APOE in the Iranian CAD patients and control subjects. Two hundred angiographi...
متن کاملAssociation of CCR2 Gene but not CCR5 Gene Polymorphisms with Alzheimer’s Disease
Chemokines participate in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses by interacting with their specific receptors on related immune and inflammatory cells such as B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells. Chemokines and their receptors are therefore considered to mediate inflammation and tissue damage in autoimmune disorders. The recent studies have revealed the genoty...
