Using 1709 subjects (697 deceased) from the Religious Orders Study and the Rush Memory and Aging Project, we tested 41 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the linkage disequilibrium block containing the published CR1 AD SNP (rs6656401) for associations with episodic memory decline, and then examined the functional consequences of the top result.
It did not explain (part of) the association of genome wide association top single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs3818361/rs6656401, nor of the CR1 CNV, with AD in our cohort, whereas the CR1 CNV and rs3818361/rs6656401 represented the same association signal.
Our prevalent case study comparing prevalent AD cases (n = 428) with participants with no cognitive impairment (n = 524) revealed a significant association of rs6656401 and rs3818361 (CR1), rs2075650 (TOMM40), rs7561528 (BIN1), and rs3865444 (CD33) with late-onset AD that were robust to adjustment with age and apolipoprotein E ε4 genotype.
Here, we show that two Alzheimer's disease-associated CR1 variants, rs6656401 and rs3818361, are associated with major recurrent depression in females in a population-based cohort using individuals from the Generation Scotland: Scottish Family Health Study.
Gene-brain structure associations of 3 recently discovered risk genes for Alzheimer's disease, CLU (rs11136000C>T), CR1 (rs6656401G>A), and PICALM (rs3851179G>A), were investigated in 2 independent cohorts of young healthy adults (n = 430 and n = 492, respectively).
A recent large genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified significant association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs6656401 and rs3818361) in the CR1 gene with AD in Caucasians.
We investigated the influence of the rs6656401 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the CR1 gene, the rs3851179 SNP of the PICALM gene, and the rs11136000 SNP of the CLU gene on risk of AD in a Polish population.
Altogether, five loci (rs6656401 at CR1, rs983392within MS4A6A, rs11218343 at SORL1, rs6733839 at BIN1, and APOE ε4) have been detected to be associated with one or a few established AD-related neuroimaging measures.
Accumulated evidence suggests that a variant within the CR1 gene (single nucleotide polymorphism rs6656401), known to increase risk for Alzheimer disease (AD), influences β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition in brain tissue.
Three genotypes significantly associated with reduced AD risk relative to PART in the PENN (<i>N</i> = 377) and NACC (<i>N</i> = 1189) cohorts including <i>APOE ε</i>4, <i>APOE ε</i>2, and rs6656401 in the <i>CR1</i> gene.
Unadjusted, CLU (odds ratio [OR], 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85-0.96 for single-nucleotide polymorphism [SNP] rs11136000), CR1 (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.07-1.22; SNP rs3818361), and PICALM (OR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.84-0.94, SNP rs3851179) were associated with AD in white individuals.
The aim of this study was to examine whether the variants of some candidate genes involved in the development of AD, namely BIN1 (rs744373), CLU (rs11136000), CR1 (rs3818361), and PICALM (rs3851179), are related to several disorders of glucose metabolism-gestational diabetes (GDM), T2DM and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
We also independently replicate our observation of lower brain amyloid burden in risk allele carriers of rs3818361 in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative sample.
Here, we show that two Alzheimer's disease-associated CR1 variants, rs6656401 and rs3818361, are associated with major recurrent depression in females in a population-based cohort using individuals from the Generation Scotland: Scottish Family Health Study.
The results revealed that there were significant differences in genotype (P=0.02) and allele (P=0.007) frequencies of the SNP rs6656401 but no in rs3818361 between AD patients and controls.
Our prevalent case study comparing prevalent AD cases (n = 428) with participants with no cognitive impairment (n = 524) revealed a significant association of rs6656401 and rs3818361 (CR1), rs2075650 (TOMM40), rs7561528 (BIN1), and rs3865444 (CD33) with late-onset AD that were robust to adjustment with age and apolipoprotein E ε4 genotype.
Meta-analysis of available studies (n = 31,771 individuals), including previous studies and public genome-wide association study resources (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, Translational Genomics Research Institute, and Multi-site Collaborative Study for Genotype-Phenotype Associations in Alzheimer's Disease), strongly supports the effect of rs3818361 (odds ratio = 1.180, 95% confidence interval: 1.113-1.252, P < 2.99E-8) and suggests the existence of between-study heterogeneity (P < .05).
In summary, this is the first study to show significan</span></span>t association between rs3818361 polymorphism and AD in Chinese population by a meta-analysis method.
In this case-control study, we aimed to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in MTHFR (rs1801133), PICALM (3851719), CLU (rs11136000), and CR1 (rs6701713) are associated with AD.
Individuals with F/S genotype had a 1.8 times increased risk for AD compared with F/F genotype (p-adjusted = 0.003), while rs4844610 was only marginally significant (p-adjusted = 0.024).
Thus, the present work aimed to assess the involvement of CD33 (rs3865444), ABCA7 (rs3764650), CR1 (rs6656401), and MS4A6A (rs610932) with LOAD in a sample from southeastern Brazil.
In addition, one variation, rs3851179, in the phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) gene and one variation, rs6656401, in the complement component (3b/4b) receptor 1 (CR) gene were associated with AD.
We validated the risk for LOAD with BIN1 (rs744373), CR1 (rs6656401), and ABCA7 (rs376465), as well as the protective association for MS4A6A (rs610932) and CLU (rs11136000) variants.
