Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to elucidate the association between α-synuclein (SNCA) polymorphisms and the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: The PCR-RFLP was applied to detect SNCA gene rs6532190, rs3775430, and rs10516846 polymorphisms in 98 AD patients and 105 healthy elderly. RESULTS: The GG frequency of rs10516846 was evidently increased in AD group than control group (P < 0.05). There...
