The -4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) is associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the pathogenic mechanism is unknown. The 5-repeat allele of a CGG repeat polymorphism in the 5 untranslated region of the very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDL-R) gene, a receptor for ap
## 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.
## Abstract We performed linkage analysis for age at onset (AAO) in the total Alzheimer's disease (AD) NIMH sample (Nβ=β437 families). Families were subset as lateβonset (320 families, AAO β₯65) and early/mixed (117 families, at least 1 member with 50< AAO <65). Treating AAO as a censored trait, we
The prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors in law enforcement personnel compared to that in the general population was studied by determining the predicted 10-year risk for developing CHD (CHD 10 , expressed as %) in subjects from the Iowa Department of Public Safety and comparing i
