Several studies have reported an association of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with polymorphic markers in SORL1. Data from a recently published genome-wide association study in AD have been made publicly available. We tested the association of AD with SORL1 in this dataset (Translational Genomics Research Institute; TGEN), which included 31 SORL1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), eight of which overlapped the original study. Six SNPs, near the 3' region of SORL1 containing SNPs which were strongly associated with AD in previous studies, showed significant association in the TGEN dataset. These results provide an independent replication of the association between AD and SORL1.
多项研究报告了阿尔茨海默病(AD)与SORL1基因多态性标记之间的关联。一项最近发表的AD全基因组关联研究数据已公开。我们在这个数据集(转化基因组学研究所;TGEN)中测试了AD与SORL1的关联,该数据集包含31个SORL1单核苷酸多态性(SNP),其中8个与原研究重叠。在SORL1 3'区域附近的6个SNP,这些SNP在之前的研究中与AD密切相关,在TGEN数据集中显示出显著关联。这些结果为AD与SORL1之间的关联提供了独立验证。
