## Abstract Various factors have been suggested to participate in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, and some inflammatory cytokines may play an important role in the development of AD. Interferon‐γ (__IFNG__), an important pro‐inflammatory cytokine, is encoded by a single gene mapped to chromosom
## 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.
