A Comprehensive Genetic Association Study of Alzheimer Disease in African Americans
AssociationN=1,009Logue MW et al.(2011)· Archives of Neurology

This comprehensive genome-wide association study examined genetic variants contributing to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) in 513 African American cases and 496 controls, plus replication in 5 white cohorts. The APOE ε4 allele showed strong association (P=9.69×10⁻²³), and after adjusting for APOE, rs6859 in PVRL2 remained significantly associated (P=0.0087). The study found associations with variants in CLU, PICALM, BIN1, EPHA1, MS4A, ABCA7, and CD33, though effect directions sometimes differed from white populations. Novel associations with suggestive evidence were identified in PROX1, CNTNAP2, STK24, and other genes, though not replicated in whites.
