Abstract excerpt
A genetic polymorphism in intron 13 of the FE65 gene (APBB1) was reported to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our analyses of this polymorphism, both in a family-based or a case-control sample, fail to support the association between the FE65 intron 13 polymorphism and AD. We performed the sibship disequilibrium test (SDT, P=0.77) and the sib transmission/disequilibrium test (Sib-TDT, P=0.56) in a...
