Abstract excerpt
Genetic and biological studies point to a role for insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Two SNP-based studies recently reported evidence for association with AD using markers in a approximately 270 kb haplotype block on chromosome 10q. This haplotype block region harbors three known genes; insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), kinesin family member 11 (KIF11), and hematopoietically expressed...
