Previous work suggests an association between allele 1 and the 1-1 genotype of an intronic polymorphism in the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene and late onset Alzheimer's disease. We found an excess of the 1-1 genotype in our late onset clinical sample (p = 0.006, one-tailed) but not in our postmortem confirmed sample, which instead exhibited an excess of allele 1 (p = 0.02, one-tailed). No interaction between PS-1 and ApoE genotype was detected and the findings remained significant when the effects of ApoE were taken into account (p = 0.03, one-tailed). These results suggest that the PS-1 polymorphism, or a locus in linkage disequilibrium with it, acts as a risk factor for late onset AD.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D008297 Male Males
D008565 Membrane Proteins Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
