CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Since Reelin and apolipoprotein E, are ligands of ApoER2 and VLDLR, these receptors are of interest with respect to Alzheimer's disease. 30304853 2018
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In addition, VLDLR was first reported here as potential blood protein biomarker for AD. 30671019 2018
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Cell surface receptors for Reelin, including integrins and very-low-density lipoprotein receptor/apolipoprotein E2 receptor, may be targets of amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides presumed to play key roles in the pathogenesis of AD. 17360894 2007
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE We examined the polymorphic CGG repeat in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of the reelin gene, which was recently found to be associated with autistic disorder, and the CGG repeat in the 5' UTR region of the very low density protein receptor (VLDLR) gene, which was reported to be associated with sporadic Alzheimer's disease, for allelic association with schizophrenia. 12363388 2002
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) has a potentially important role in lipoprotein metabolism and Alzheimer's disease. 11501949 2001
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Although genetic studies conducted on a polymorphism in the promoter of the VLDL receptor in Japanese and Caucasian populations gave divergent results, this does not exclude a possible involvement of the VLDL receptor in AD. 10936879 2000
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The results from this study suggest that individuals who have the 9,9 genotype of the VLDL-R gene are at increased risk of AD in Northern Ireland. 10206233 1999
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Thus, we conclude that among the reported genetic risk factors, ApoE epsilon4 is the only definite risk factor for both FAD and AD, and the VLDLR polymorphism might be associated with AD cases in Japanese. 9562467 1998
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Recently, a polymorphic triplet (CGG) in the very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDL-R) gene, coding for a receptor binding only apoE-containing lipoproteins, was associated with AD in a Japanese population but not in Caucasian American populations. 9876967 1998
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The possible roles in AD of the mitochondrial mutation at position 4336, the PS intron 8 polymorphism, and variants in the alpha 1-antichymotrypsin and VLDL-receptor genes, are considered. 9316155 1997
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Other genes that may play a role in AD, either through independent association with the disease or through modification of, or interaction with, the existing apolipoprotein E (APOE) risk, are now under investigation including the alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) gene, the very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDL-R) gene, and the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene.Kamboh et al. 9129722 1997
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE In contrast to findings in a Japanese cohort we detected no association between DAT and a polymorphism in the VLDL-R gene. 9148246 1997
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We have genotyped both population and clinic-based AD data sets at this VLDL-R polymorphism, and we find no independent association between the VLDL-R gene and the occurrence of AD in either sample. 9181358 1997
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Multiple logistic regression analysis using apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele, 5, 8-, or 9-repeat allele of the VLDL-R gene, sex, and age at onset as the predictors revealed that only the APOE4 allele was significantly associated with AD in the data set of the Caucasian AD patients and controls. 8773610 1996
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Nonetheless, these data weaken the likelihood that this polymorphism in the very-low-density lipoprotein receptor gene is strongly associated with AD. 8651653 1996
CUI: C0002395
Disease: Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our results suggest that the VLDL-R gene is a susceptibility gene for AD. 7550352 1995
