An association study of common variation at the MAPT locus with late‐onset Alzheimer's disease
AssociationN=17,996Richard Abraham et al.(2009)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

This case-control association study in 4,124 Spanish Alzheimer's disease cases and 3,290 controls demonstrates that the MAPT H1 haplotype, tagged by rs1800547, is a risk factor for AD (OR=1.12, p=0.0025) primarily in APOE ε4 non-carriers (OR=1.15, p=0.0022). Pooled analysis of two Spanish datasets totaling 17,996 individuals shows strongest AD risk in the oldest APOE ε4 non-carriers, suggesting MAPT H1 variants may track a genuine risk allele through a tau-dependent pathway less dependent on amyloid burden.
