We have previously reported a significant association between early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) and an allele in the promoter of presenilin 1 (PSEN1) significantly decreasing PSEN1 expression in vitro. For late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), numerous studies have reported inconsistent associations with a PSEN1 intronic polymorphism. We therefore hypothesized that linkage disequilibrium between the...
