Abstract excerpt
Previous linkage studies have suggested that chromosome 12 may harbor susceptibility genes for late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD). No risk genes on chromosome 12 have been conclusively identified yet. We have reported that the linkage evidence for LOAD in a 12q region was significantly increased in autopsy-confirmed families particularly for those showing no linkage to alpha-T catenin gene, a LOAD candidate gene...
