Association between SORL1 polymorphisms and the risk of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
A meta-analysis was performed to identify empirical data assessing the effects of a single nucleotide polymorphisms of sortilin-related receptor on Alzheimer's disease based on 14 studies involving 37941 cases and 49727 control studies. Analysis showed, (

Software for tag single nucleotide polymorphism selection
This paper reviews the theoretical basis for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) tagging and considers the use of current software made freely available for this task. A distinction between haplotype block-based and non-block-based approaches yields two

The C242T polymorphism of the NAD(P)H oxidase p22(phox) subunit is associated with an enhanced risk for cerebrovascular disease at a young age [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Oxidative stress has been proposed as a major contributing factor for vascular disease, that acts independently from its participation in predisposing disorders such as diabetes and arterial hypertension.
