Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Genetic factors have been implicated in disease susceptibility as its etiology remains multifactorial. The and the genes, involved in immune responses, have emerged as potential candidates influencing AD risk. In this study, 644 Lebanese individuals, including 127 AD patients and 250 controls, were genotyped, by KASP assay, for six SNPs selected from the largest GWAS study in 2021. Logistic regression analysis assessed the association between SNP genotypes and AD risk, adjusting for potential confounders. Among the six SNPs analyzed, rs1846190G>A in and rs1354106T>G in showed significant associations with AD risk in the Lebanese population ( < 0.05). Carriers of the AG and AA genotypes of rs1846190 in exhibited a protective effect against AD (AG: OR = 0.042, p = 0.026; AA: OR = 0.052, p = 0.031). The GT genotype of rs1354106T>G in was also associated with reduced risk (OR = 0.173, p = 0.005). Following Bonferroni correction, a significant correlation of rs1354106T > G with AD risk was established. Our results might highlight the complex interplay between genetic and immunological factors contributing to the development of the disease.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种常见的神经退行性疾病,其特征为进行性认知衰退。由于其病因仍是多因素的,遗传因素已被认为与疾病易感性有关。参与免疫反应的[具体基因1]和[具体基因2]基因已成为影响AD风险的潜在候选基因。在本研究中,通过竞争性等位基因特异性PCR(KASP)检测法,对644名黎巴嫩个体(包括127名AD患者和250名对照)进行了基因分型,这些个体的基因分型是针对从2021年最大的全基因组关联研究(GWAS)中选取的6个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)。逻辑回归分析评估了SNP基因型与AD风险之间的关联,并对潜在混杂因素进行了校正。在分析的6个SNP中,[具体基因1]中的rs1846190G>A和[具体基因2]中的rs1354106T>G在黎巴嫩人群中与AD风险存在显著关联(p<0.05)。[具体基因1]中rs1846190的AG和AA基因型携带者对AD具有保护作用(AG:比值比(OR)=0.042,p=0.026;AA:OR=0.052,p=0.031)。[具体基因2]中rs1354106T>G的GT基因型也与风险降低相关(OR=0.173,p=0.005)。经过Bonferroni校正后,确定了rs1354106T>G与AD风险之间存在显著相关性。我们的结果可能突出了遗传和免疫因素之间复杂的相互作用对该疾病发展的影响。
