Abstract excerpt
Alterations of the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) activity are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). A polymorphism consisting of a single nucleotide (C-->T) change at position 609 of NQO1 influences the NQO1 activity. Therefore the NQO1 C609T polymorphism may confer susceptibility for AD developing. To test the hypothesis, we have performed an association study between the NQO1 gene polymorphism C609T...
