Because the action of thyroid hormone (T3) is involved in adult cognitive functions, we wanted to assess the association between THRA gene polymorphisms, which encodes the T3 nuclear receptor TRα1, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. We analysed 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of THRA, covering the known common genetic variability of the gene, in the Lille AD case-control study (710 cases/597 controls)....
