We have found a significantly lower frequency of the presenilin-1 (PS-1) intronic polymorphism 2/2 genotype in early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients without APOE epsilon4 alleles (2/2 = 0.054; P = 0.009) as compared to age matched non-epsilon4 controls (2/2 = 0.227). Moreover the average age of onset in AD patients with the PS-1 2/2 genotype is older than that in AD patients with a 1/2 genotype or with a 1/1 genotype. This data suggest a protective effect of the 2/2 genotype which would delay the age of onset in AD. Our results do not support an association between the 1/1 genotype and AD. However, a non-significant increase of the 1/1 genotype is found in non-epsilon4 AD patients (P = 0.20).
我们发现,与年龄匹配的非ε4等位基因对照者(2/2基因型频率 = 0.227)相比,无APOE ε4等位基因的早发性阿尔茨海默病(AD)患者中早老素-1(PS-1)内含子多态性2/2基因型的频率显著更低(2/2基因型频率 = 0.054;P = 0.009)。此外,PS-1 2/2基因型AD患者的平均发病年龄比1/2基因型或1/1基因型的AD患者更大。该数据提示2/2基因型具有保护作用,可延迟AD的发病年龄。我们的结果不支持1/1基因型与AD之间存在关联。然而,在非ε4 AD患者中发现1/1基因型有非显著性增加(P = 0.20)。
