Abstract excerpt
We carried out an association study of transmembrane protein 106B gene (TMEM106B) rs1020004 A/G, rs6966915C/T, and rs1990622 A/G in a population of 656 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 619 controls, and tested whether the rs1990622 influences plasma progranulin levels. No differences in allele and genotype distribution were observed between cases and controls, even stratifying according to APOE status...
