Abstract excerpt
Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) is a protease that degrades insulin and the beta-amyloid peptide implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We reexamined data on five previously reported IDE polymorphisms stratifying the analysis by the presence or absence of an apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 allele. Three IDE variants were associated with AD within epsilon4-negative subjects (genotype exact test P-values < or...
