Characterization of the poly-T variant in the TOMM40 gene in diverse populations.

Characterization of the poly-T variant in the TOMM40 gene in diverse populations.

We previously discovered that a polymorphic, deoxythymidine-homopolymer (poly-T, rs10524523) in intron 6 of the TOMM40 gene is associated with age-of-onset of Alzheimer's disease and with cognitive performance in elderly. Three allele groups were defined for rs10524523, hereafter '523'...
