Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer disease (AD) patients with both sporadic and familial forms of AD and non-demented controls were genotyped for common polymorphisms in the signal peptide for alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) gene and in two different regions of apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. The ACT TT genotype was over-represented (P = 0.025) in patients with early onset of sporadic AD. In this patient's group ACT TT genotype conferred a...
