Homozygosity for the K variant of BCHE gene increases the risk for development of neurofibrillary pathology but not amyloid deposits at young ages.

Abstract excerpt

The presence of the K variant of the butyrylcholinesterase gene (BCHE-K) has been associated with the severity of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and amyloid beta-protein (Abeta). To examine the impact of BCHE-K on the development of initial NFT- and Abeta pathologies in young individuals below the age of 45 years a total of 124 cases (110 cases with NFT-only pathology, 14 cases...
