Abstract excerpt
We investigated the potential contribution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants, haplogroups, and polymorphisms in nuclear genes essential for mitochondrial biogenesis and function (PGC-1α TFAM) to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) risk. Epistatic interaction analysis was conducted between the studied variables. Our results demonstrate that mtDNA haplogroups and subhaplogroups with putative role in partial...
