Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2 m) may play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

The aim of the study was to analyse alpha 2 m polymorphism in two groups: AD patients (n = 60, F = 41, M. = 19, mean age 73.3 +/- 6.3) and non-demented control group (n = 58, F = 36, M. = 22, mean...
