The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene remains the most strongly established risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). Recently the gene, TOMM40, which is in linkage disequilibrium with APOE, was identified to be associated with LOAD in genome-wide association studies. One of the identified polymorphisms in TOMM40 is rs10524523, which is located in intron 6 and composed of thymidine repeats varying between...
