Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder resulting from multiple genetic and non-genetic factors. Linkage studies indicated that chromosome 10 has at least one locus for this disease. The cell division cycle 2 (CDC2) gene, which is close to one of the linkage regions, has previously been associated with the risk of AD with an odds ratio of 1.78. Biologically, CDC2, which is...
