Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) helps transfer lipids from lipoprotein particles to cells. In the brain, LPL is present in Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid plaques. LPL binds apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipoprotein particles and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP), an ApoE receptor. Since po

We investigated a common signal peptide polymorphism in the ␣ 1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) gene in 125 sporadic Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and 141 healthy control subjects in Chinese Han population. We found no significant difference in the distribution of ACT polymorphism between AD cases and cont

Recent evidence for mitochondrial mutations associated with Alzheimers disease (AD) suggests the possibility of maternal transmission of this illness. We investigated this hypothesis by examining, in a variety of ways, the risk of a primary progressive dementia (PPD) in the parents (n = 650) and sib

To examine the possible involvement of the alpha-1-antichymotrypsin gene (ACT) polymorphism in the manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD), we analyzed genotypes of the ACT and apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) among 110 Korean patients with probable AD and 209 nondemented controls. No significant diff
