Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variants in genes encoding enzymes involved in production, aggregation or degradation of beta-amyloid are potential risk factors for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: Meta-analyses on AD association with BACE1 exon 5, BACE1 intron 5, FE65 intron 13, CYP46 intron 2, alpha(1)-antichymotrypsine Ala17Thr, bleomycin hydrolase I443V, lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (OLR1)...
