To determine whether the association of the very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDL-R) gene with Alzheimer's disease (AD), which has recently been identified in Japanese AD patients, is commonly observed in AD patients of other ethnic backgrounds, we have investigated the allele frequency of the polymorphic CGG repeat in the 5'-UTR of the VLDL-R gene using a data set of 84 Caucasian AD patients with 104 Caucasian controls. Although the allele frequency of the 8-repeat allele was slightly lower, and that of 9-repeat allele was slightly higher, in the Caucasian AD patients than in Caucasian controls, the differences were not statistically significant. Multiple logistic regression analysis using apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele, 5, 8-, or 9-repeat allele of the VLDL-R gene, sex, and age at onset as the predictors revealed that only the APOE4 allele was significantly associated with AD in the data set of the Caucasian AD patients and controls.

D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.

D001057 Apolipoproteins E A class of protein components which can be found in several lipoproteins including HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS; VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS; and CHYLOMICRONS. Synthesized in most organs, Apo E is important in the global transport of lipids and cholesterol throughout the body. Apo E is also a ligand for LDL receptors (RECEPTORS, LDL) that mediates the binding, internalization, and catabolism of lipoprotein particles in cells. There are several allelic isoforms (such as E2, E3, and E4). Deficiency or defects in Apo E are causes of HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE III.

D014481 United States A country in NORTH AMERICA between CANADA and MEXICO.
D015243 Cholesterol, VLDL Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). High circulating levels of VLDL cholesterol are found in HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE IIB. The cholesterol on the VLDL is eventually delivered by LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS to the tissues after the catabolism of VLDL to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LDL.
