Abstract excerpt
The dysfunction of the cholinergic system in Alzheimer's disease (AD) supports the hypothesis that a decline in choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity in memory as well as in cognitive functions in AD might be functionally linked. To assess the physiological relevance of an allelic variation in the ChAT gene we investigated the presence of a possible polymorphism in AD patients and in elderly non-demented...
