Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 95iR0xKt. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. A C-to-T polymorphism in exon 2 of the cathepsin D gene encoding cathepsin D (CTSD) has been implicated as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. The authors performed a meta-analysis of 14 studies (16 comparisons) with CTSD genotyping (3,174 Alzheimer's disease cases and 3,298 controls). Overall, the random effects odds ratio for the T versus the C allele was 1.17 (95% confidence interval (Cl) : 0.95,1.44), with some between-study heterogeneity (p |
