Rare Functional Variant in TM2D3 is Associated with Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease.

Rare Functional Variant in TM2D3 is Associated with Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease.

We performed an exome-wide association analysis in 1393 late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) cases and 8141 controls from the CHARGE consortium. We found that a rare variant (P155L) in TM2D3 was enriched in Icelanders (~0.5% versus <0.05% in other European populations). In 433 LOAD cases an...
