Abstract excerpt
The biological study of the Nicastrin protein shows its crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We tested the hypothesis that the Nicastrin (NCSTN) gene might be genetically associated with AD. The association analysis of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding region (cSNPs) of NCSTN were performed in an Italian population. No evidence of association was obtained between...
