Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Recently, it has been shown that the heme oxygenases HMOX1 and HMOX2 might play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: To investigate whether there is any association between the HMOX1 and HMOX2 genes and AD, five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in each gene were genotyped in 180 AD patients and 132 age-matched controls using TaqMan technology. RESULTS: Our study...
