We have evaluated allele and genotype frequency distribution of rs11136000 polymorphism in the clusterin (CLU) gene (or apolipoprotein J, APOJ) in populations of three Russian regions and in Alzheimer's disease patients. Genome-wide association studies in samples from several European populations have recently revealed the highly significant association of CLU gene with AD (p = 8.5) Alzheimer's disease, association analysis, polymorphism, apolipoprotein J (APOJ), clusterin (CLU) |
