A common polymorphism in the α1-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
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) as well as acetylcholinesterase has been suggested to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). : Hum Mol Genet 6: 1933-1936] recently reported the synergism between the gene for the K variant of BChE (BCHE-K) and the 4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE 4) in late-onse
It is now commonly known that possession of one of the three common alleles of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene (allele epsilon 4) confers an increased risk for both familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), and that this risk is dose-dependent. Other genes that may play a role in AD, either t
