Abstract excerpt
We analyzed whether genetic variation of alpha-synuclein modulates the extent of neuropathological changes in a population-based autopsied sample of 272 elderly Finns. None of the 11 markers was associated with the extent of neocortical beta-amyloid pathology. The intron 4 marker rs2572324 was associated with the extent of neurofibrillary pathology (p = 0.0006, permuted p = 0.004; Braak stages IV-VI vs 0-II). The...
