Prevalence of Wild-Type Butyrylcholinesterase Genotype in Patients with Alzheimer’s Dementia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approximately, two-thirds patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are reported to have homozygous wild-type butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) gene expression. It is associated with a higher rate of hydrolysis of acetylcholine, which ultimately leads to increase in the levels of BuChE in advanced stages of the disease. Rivastigmine, a dual inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and BuChE, might be of additional benefit in patients with AD with wild-type BuChE allele.

The objective of the study was to analyze the frequency of APOE4 allele in elderly patients with Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia or depression; compare these to age/sex matched controls; compare the results with established literature and highlight new findings.A single center, multiple disease, case-control study was performed with three case groups- probable AD patients (n=36), vasc...
متن کاملButyrylcholinesterase: Potential Importance for the Symptoms and Progression of Cognitive Decline in People with Dementia
Cholinesterase inhibitors have produced the best evidence of clinical efficacy for treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). As AD progresses, BuChE may become increasingly important in the regulation of Ach. In addition there is accumulating evidence that BuChE may be an important factor in determining the rate of disease progression, perhaps because of a role in accelerating plaque mat...

Background and Aim: Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in old people. AD is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative brain disorder. Sortilin receptor 1 (SORL1) is involved in cellular trafficking of amyloid precursor protein and plays an essential role in amyloid-beta peptide generation in the AD. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the association of...
متن کاملDipeptidyl carboxypeptidase 1 (DCP1) and butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) gene interactions with the apolipoprotein E å4 allele as risk factors in Alzheimer’s disease and in Parkinson’s disease with coexisting Alzheimer pathology
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are genetically heterogeneous. Dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase 1 (DCP1) and butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) genes may modify the risk of these disorders. We investigated whether common polymorphisms present in these genes operate as risk factors for AD and PD in Finnish subjects, independently or in concert with the apolipoprotein E å4 allele (APOE...

Introduction: The coagulation factor 13 has a fundamental role in homeostasis, protective effects on thrombosis, and some other associated diseases. Due to increasing the chronic coagulability of major thalassemic patients, this study was conducted with aim determining the prevalence of Val34LeuFXIII polymorphism in the thalassemic patients. Materials and methods: The present case-control stud...
