It was showed that A2M V1000I (odd ratio (OR) = 1.26, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07-1.49, P = 0.007), rs908832 allele of ABCA2 (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.12-2.16, P = 0.009), 2384G >A of CHAT (OR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.00-1.49, P = 0.05) and Ser447Ter of LPL in the Northern-American population (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.35-0.91, P = 0.02) were significantly associated with the risk of AD.
Our results showed that A2M V1000I polymorphism in German, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Polish populations, rs90883 of ABCA2 gene in French, American, Swiss, Greek and Japanese populations, 2384G >A of CHAT gene in British and Korean populations and LPL Ser447Ter in the Northern-American population were associated with the risk of AD.
