Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Some studies have implicated the role of apolipoprotein J [clusterin (CLU), apoJ] in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated the polymorphisms rs11136000 and rs9331888 within CLU in late-onset sporadic AD (LOAD) patients and nondemented subjects. METHODS: LOAD patients and control subjects were analyzed. Genotyping of rs11136000 and rs9331888 was performed...
