## Abstract Accumulating evidence indicates that the heparanโsulfateโproteoglycan (perlecan, HSPG2), as well as other specific proteoglycans, are involved in amyloidogenesis and tau aggregation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Moreover, the HSPG2 is located on chromosome 1p36, a region of linkage to la
A common polymorphism in the ฮฑ1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) gene has been found to modify the APOE\*4-associated risk of Alzheimer's disease due to an apparent interaction between the two loci. This study was undertaken to determine the gender-and age-related distributions of these two polymorphisms in t
