Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, two large genome wide association studies in Alzheimer disease (AD) have identified variants in three different genes (CLU, PICALM and CR1) as being associated with the risk of developing AD. The strongest association was reported for an intronic single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CLU. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To further characterize this association we have sequenced the coding...
