Large-scale genome-wide association studies have reported EPHA1 rs11767557 variant to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk in the European population. However, it is still unclear how this variant functionally contributes to the underlying disease pathogenesis. The rs11767557 variant is located approximately 3 kb upstream of EPHA1 gene. We think that rs11767557 may modify the expression of nearby...
