Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified several novel genes associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in elders. However, most of the novel genes have not been validated through replication in separated populations. Among them, the BIN1 gene is involved in endocytosis and intracellular trafficking as well as in the formation of β amyloid...
