Apolipoprotein-J/clusterin (APOJ/CLI) shares many biological properties with apolipoprotein-E (APOE) including, but not limited to, avid binding with beta-amyloid peptide. Thus, APOJ/CLI warrants scrutiny as a candidate Alzheimer's disease (AD) susceptibility gene. We identified seven nucleotide sequence polymorphisms in APOJ/ CLI, two of which, in exon 7, after the predicted amino acid sequence. The JVIIB variant is an asparagine-to-histidine substitution, which deletes a glycosylation signal at amino acid 317; the JVIIC variant is an aspartate-to-asparagine substitution, which forms a new glycosylation signal at position 328. Both of these coding variants, as well as two neutral polymorphisms in exon 2, were more frequent in African-Americans than Hispanics and were rare in Caucasians. However, no individual coding or noncoding variant was consistently associated with AD. At the population level, APOJ/CLI polymorphisms are frequent among persons of African descent, but probably do not alter susceptibility to AD.

D001741 Black or African American A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/10/30/97-28653/revisions-to-the-standards-for-the classification-of-federal-data-on-race-and-ethnicity). In the United States it is used for classification of federal government data on race and ethnicity. Race and ethnicity terms are self-identified social construct and may include terms outdated and offensive in MeSH to assist users who are interested in retrieving comprehensive search results for studies such as in longitudinal studies.
