Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: One of the characteristic features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the degeneration of the cholinergic system. The gene encoding choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), a key enzyme in cholinergic function, is a candidate gene conferring risk for AD. But the genetic association of the enzyme with AD has been controversial. We analyzed 2 ChAT single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 2384G>A (rs3810950;...
