Abstract excerpt
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a strong biological and positional candidate gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previously some studies have examined the role of common variation in the IDE gene with AD risk but the results have been inconsistent. In this study we examined the role of 5 SNPs that define a linkage disequilibrium (LD) block spanning 276kb around IDE. Our sample comprised up to 1012 late-onset AD...
