Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Despite advances, understanding the protective role of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε2 allele in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains elusive. METHODS: We examined associations of variants comprised of the TOMM40 rs8106922 and APOE rs405509, rs440446, and ε2-encoding rs7412 polymorphisms with AD in a sample of 2862 AD-affected and 169,516 AD-unaffected non-carriers of the ε4 allele. RESULTS: Association...
