Extremely rare incidence of the UBQLN1 polymorphism (UBQ-8i) in Taiwan Chinese with Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, A-->G) in intron 8 of UBQLN 1 at the rs12344615 site (UBQ-8i) on chromosome 9q22 was associated with a higher risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we aimed to investigate whether an association exists between the UBQ-8i polymorphism and AD in Taiwan Chinese. Initially, we included 100 late-onset AD patients and 100 gender- and age-matched non-demented...
