Abstract excerpt
A genetic association of an intronic single nucleotide polymorphism site of heparan sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2) with Alzheimer's disease (AD) was investigated among Finnish AD patients (n=213) and controls (n=269). No association of the HSPG2 polymorphism alone was observed with AD. However, an association of HSPG2 A allele with AD was detected in apolipoprotein (APOE) epsilon4 allele carriers. The odds ratio...
