“…A poly T repeat in an intronic polymorphism (rs10524523) (intron 6) in the TOMM40 gene, which encodes an outer mitochondrial membrane translocase involved in the transport of amyloid-β and other proteins into mitochondria, has been implicated in AD [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44], and APOE-TOMM40 genotypes have been shown to modify disease risk and age at onset of symptoms [32][33][34][35][36][37]45], although the latter assumption needs replication due to contradictory results [36,[46][47][48][49]. A fixed-effect meta-analysis approach showed that rs4420638 at the TOMM40/APOE/APOC1 gene locus is associated with longevity [50,51].…”
