## 817 ated with increased risk for AD, at least in the Korean population. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that the association between IL-1A (-889) C/T polymorphism and AD observed in previous studies might be the result of linkage disequilibrium with a yet unidentified gene on chromosome 2.

Many different mutations that cause Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been found in the presenilin-1 gene (PSEN1) and are associated with the most aggressive forms of the disease. With the aim of screening for PSEN1 genetic variations, we developed a method based on denaturing gradient gel electrophores
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
Mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS1) gene account for the majority of familial early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) cases. We screened the coding part of the PS1 gene for the presence of mutations in a French family with EOAD, using single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. Patients
