Genome-wide association study identifies variants at CLU and PICALM associated with Alzheimer's disease, and shows evidence for additional susceptibility genes
We undertook a two-stage genome-wide association study of Alzheimer's disease involving over 16,000 individuals. In stage 1 (3,941 cases and 7,848 controls), we replicated the established association with the APOE locus (most significant SNP: rs2075650, p= 1.8×10(−157)) and observed genome-wide...

Sumario: | We undertook a two-stage genome-wide association study of Alzheimer's disease involving over 16,000 individuals. In stage 1 (3,941 cases and 7,848 controls), we replicated the established association with the APOE locus (most significant SNP: rs2075650, p= 1.8×10(−157)) and observed genome-wide significant association with SNPs at two novel loci: rs11136000 in the CLU or APOJ gene (p= 1.4×10(−9)) and rs3851179, a SNP 5′ to the PICALM gene (p= 1.9×10(−8)). Both novel associations were supported in stage 2 (2,023 cases and 2,340 controls), producing compelling evidence for association with AD in the combined dataset (rs11136000: p= 8.5×10(−10), odds ratio= 0.86; rs3851179: p= 1.3×10(−9), odds ratio= 0.86). We also observed more variants associated at p< 1×10(−5) than expected by chance (p=7.5×10(−6)), including polymorphisms at the BIN1, DAB1 and CR1 loci. |
