KIF6 719Arg allele is associated with statin effects on cholesterol levels in amnestic mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease patients.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

KIF6 719Arg allele carriers are thought to have a greater lipid lowering response from statin therapy than non-carriers. Given the continued interest in the relationship between cholesterol, statin use, amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and Alzheimer's disease (AD), investigating the role of KIF6 719Arg carrier status in these relationships may be of importance. Data from 86 patients (36 aMCI, 50 AD)...
