Abstract excerpt
Neuroinflammation has been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many studies have suggested that C(-889) T promoter polymorphism in one of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) encoding gene IL-1A may be associated with AD pathogenesis. To determine whether the polymorphism contributes to the risk for late-onset AD (LOAD) in Chinese, we carried out our investigation in 344 sporadic...
