Abstract excerpt
Two powerful genome-wide association studies have recently reported significant association between sporadic late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) and markers at the CLU locus in chromosome 8p. In this study, we have stratified our previously analyzed 109 Swedish AD families according to range in age at onset and performed whole-genome linkage analysis and subsequent fine-mapping in 8p21. The subgroup analyzed in...
