The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene associates with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cholesterol levels. Upstream transcription factor 1 (USF1) regulates lipid metabolism genes, including APOE, and the AD Aβ-precursor protein. We investigated associations between 6 haplotype-tagging USF1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (and haplotypes) and AD-related neuropathological lesions [senile plaques (SP), neurofibrillary...
