The -22c/t polymorphism in the promoter of the presenilin 1 gene is associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in some populations. It was shown that -22c allele is connected with two-fold decrease in promoter activity. We studied the impact of the polymorphism in groups of Polish late-onset and early-onset AD patients. Our results suggest that -22c/t polymorphism is not connected with AD in...
