Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the association of two candidate genes on chromosome 14, presenilin 1 (PS1) and alpha1-antichymotrypsin (ACT), with the risk of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) by using 427 AD cases and 250 controls. The frequency of the ACT*A allele was significantly higher in cases than controls (0.550 vs 0.466). The stratification of the ACT data by PS1 genotypes showed that the risk associated with the...
