## Communicated by Christine Van Broeckhoven With the exception of ApoE (APOE), no universally accepted genetic association has been identified with lateonset Alzheimer disease (AD). A broad region of chromosome 10 has engendered continued interest generated from both preliminary genetic linkage a
An association between the โฌ4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) and lateonset Alzheimer's disease (AD) was recently demonstrated. In order to confirm the association and to gauge the ability of standard genetic linkage methods to identify susceptibility genes, we investigated 15 Swedish lat
Recent reports have shown an association between an intronic polymorphism of the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene and late-onset (age at onset > 65) familial and sporadic (no family history) Alzheimer disease (AD). The reported association was independent of the effect of the only previously identified gen
