Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic degenerative disorder. It is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. The association of Insulin Degrading Enzyme (IDE) genotypes rs4646953, rs2251101 and rs1544210 with AD has been detected, but the findings were conflicted, however, Apolipoprotein-E (APOE)-ε4 allele has been observed as a genetic risk factor for AD. To investigate the issue, a meta-analysis was...
