GAB2 Alleles Modify Alzheimer's Risk in APOE ɛ4 Carriers

Abstract: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 allele is the best established genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). We conducted genome-wide surveys of 502,627 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to characterize and confirm other LOAD susceptibility genes. In epsilon4 carriers from neuropathologically verified discovery, neuropathologically verified replication, and clinically characterized replication cohorts of 1411 cases and controls, LOAD was associated with six SNPs from the GRB-associat… Show more

“…Of note, our patient population is older on average than the original cohorts, which might be another explanation of the lack of association in our population. Our data however are supported by an absence of association between CALHM1 P86L and Alzheimer's disease risk in a recent study, which included family-based samples in which linkage to 10q24 was first reported , and reanalysis of publicly available genotype data of SNPs in the CALHM1 region, derived from two genome-wide association studies [Li et al, 2008;Reiman et al, 2007], was reported not to show evidence of association either . Meta-analysis of these and future replication studies will bear out whether CALHM1 can be considered an important risk gene for AD.…”

“…However, the same large study that reported association in multiple groups [18] found no association in Caucasian American or African American families. Two groups examined SORL1 SNPs in publicly available data from the same genomewide association studies of AD [17] and found marginal associations with some variants in specific regions of SORL1. Meng et al [12] observed associated SNPs in the interval from exon 7 to exon 18;Webster et al [25], from intron 25 to intron 39 (SORL1 comprises 48 exons).…”

“…This interaction was previously reported by the original authors. 34 The APOE group of SNPs obtained a higher weight than the GAB2 group. In the second stage, the stochastic search identified several SNPs that interact with rs7412 which is a well characterized SNP on the APOE gene that is associated with LOAD.…”

“…In the second stage, the stochastic search identified several SNPs that interact with rs7412 which is a well characterized SNP on the APOE gene that is associated with LOAD. [32][33][34] Table S1 (ESI †) gives the top 50 high scoring SNPs that interact with SNP rs7412. In particular, five previously reported SNPs namely rs901104, rs4291702, rs71158590, rs4945261, and rs2510038 in the GAB2 gene obtained low ranks and high interaction scores (see Table S1, ESI †).…”
