We examined the apolipoprotein E genotype in 56 Chinese patients with late-onset sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 57 Chinese control subjects of similar age. The frequency of epsilon 4 in the AD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (23.2% versus 7.9%, p = 0.003). The odds ratio for AD in individuals with either one or two epsilon 4 was 2.96 (95% CI 1.11 to 8.03). The linear trend for AD in proportion to alleles of epsilon 4 was also significant (chi 2 = 8.2, p = 0.004). Our results support the association between epsilon 4 and AD in the Chinese.
我们检测了56例晚发性散发性阿尔茨海默病(AD)中国患者及57名年龄相仿的中国对照者的载脂蛋白E基因型。AD组中ε4的频率显著高于对照组(23.2% 对7.9%,p = 0.003)。携带一个或两个ε4的个体患AD的优势比为2.96(95%可信区间1.11至8.03)。AD与ε4等位基因比例的线性趋势也具有显著性(χ2 = 8.2,p = 0.004)。我们的结果支持中国人群中ε4与AD之间的关联。
