Five out of the 13 tested SNPs (rs12185268, rs6599389, rs356220, rs13312, and rs17649553) were confirmed to be nominally significantly associated (<i>P</i> < 0.05) with PD risk in the Cypriot population.
Here, in order to discover potential AD-related loci, we investigated the association between late-onset AD (LOAD) susceptibility and nine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs11724635 of BST1, rs12637471 of MCCC1, rs15553999 of TMEM229, rs17649553 of MAPT, rs34311866 of TMEM175-GAK-DGKQ, rs356182 of SNCA, rs6430538 of ACMSD-TMEM163, rs76904798 of LRRK2 and rs823118 of RAB7L1-NUCKS1) which were reported to have genome-wide significant associations with PD risk in a recent Genome Wide Association Study performed among white population.
