The sigma-1 receptor (SIGMAR1) is a subtype of a nonopioid sigma receptor family and is implicated in numerous functions connected with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Two common genetic variants were identified in SIGMAR1: GC-241 -240TT and Q2P (A61C). It was suggested that the TT-C haplotype is a protective factor for AD. We decided to investigate a putative link between the variants of SIGMAR1 and AD in a group of...
