Insulin-degrading enzyme is genetically associated with Alzheimer’s disease in the Finnish population
11 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The gene for insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), which is located at chromosome 10q24, has been previously proposed as a candidate gene for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) based on its ability to degrade amyloid beta-protein. Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IDE gene in Finnish patients with AD and controls revealed SNPs rs4646953 and rs4646955 to be associated with AD, conferring an...
