Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have reported a genetic association between the 73 G/A polymorphism within exon 1 of the cystatin C gene and Alzheimer's disease (AD) with conflicting results. To further investigate the proposed association and to clarify the role of CST3 as risk factor for AD, we analyzed the genotype and allele frequency distribution of CST3 G73A and apolipoprotein (ApoE) gene polymorphisms in 243 Italian...
