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
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.

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
