Abstract excerpt
A recent observation has shown a genetic association between an intronic polymorphism in the Presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene and late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). The homozygosity of the 1 allele in the PS-1 gene was associated with a doubling of the risk for late onset AD. However, contrasting results have been published. We analyzed the distribution of the PS-1 intronic polymorphism in patients with sporadic AD and...
