Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE) is a candidate risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) from its key role in beta-amyloid generation. Previous genetic association studies of BACE1 gene have yielded conflicting results. This study is an attempt to clarify whether the common SNP in exon 5 of BACE1 (rs638405, Val262) is associated with a risk for late-onset AD. METHODS: We...
