Abstract excerpt
Presenilin 2 gene (PSEN2) is one of the causative genes for familial Alzheimer's disease. A delA polymorphism located in PSEN2 promoter was proposed to be a risk factor for early-onset AD. We examined association between AD and PSEN2 polymorphisms located in two 5'UTR regions in group of 217 late-onset AD patients, 109 mild cognitive impairment patients, and 225 non-demented control subjects. No significant...
