## Abstract The __MAPT__ gene that encodes Tau is located on chromosome 17q21, in a region, which has evolved to form two major haplotypes, H1 and H2. There is strong evidence that the H1 haplotype, and a sub‐haplotype (H1C), are overrepresented and associated with increased risk for the sporadic t
Variation in the LRP-associated protein gene (LRPAP1) is associated with late-onset Alzheimer disease

## Abstract Hypertension has been implicated as a risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD) and dementia in epidemiological studies of humans. It is thus possible that there are common genetic determinants for hypertension and AD. Epidemiological, clinical, and experimental data suggest that the renin
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, may be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) based on observations that senile plaques have been found to upregulate proinflammatory cytokines. Additionally, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been found to delay and pr
## Abstract Linkage studies have suggested a susceptibility locus for late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) on chromosome 21. A functional candidate gene in this region is the β‐amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene. Previously, coding mutations in APP have been associated with early onset Alzheimer
