Large Meta-Analysis Establishes the ACE Insertion-Deletion Polymorphism as a Marker of Alzheimer's Disease
21 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E epsilon4 (APOE*4) is the only fully established susceptibility allele for Alzheimer's disease. One of the most studied candidates is the insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism (indel) of the gene for angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). This study aimed to clarify its association with Alzheimer's disease. The meta-analysis included 39 samples, comprising 6,037 cases of Alzheimer's disease and...
