Abstract excerpt
Replication of genetic association findings in independent studies represents an important validation tool in the search for susceptibility genes for complex diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). In a well-characterized memory-clinic based study comprising 1078 unrelated AD patients and 652 control individuals, we set out to replicate previously reported genome-wide association of four novel risk SNPs with...
