TREM2 is associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease in Spanish population.

Abstract excerpt

Two recent studies have reported the association of rs75932628-T in the TREM2 gene with the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Rs75932628-T is a rare nonsynonymous variant (p.R47H) that confers a high risk of AD with an effect size similar to that of the APOE ɛ4 allele. However, this association has not been replicated in any independent studies to date. The allelic frequency of rs75932628 varies according to the...
