Abstract excerpt
Since vascular risk factors commonly act for susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) by declining cognitive abilities, we conducted a genetic association study to identify their common underlying genetic factors. We selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which had been previously discovered for association with AD, and case and control associations of VaD were examined with...
