Abstract

Polymorphisms in the interleukin-1 genes, IL-1A and IL-1B, have been associated with AD, but not in all studies. The authors genotyped the IL-1A(-889) and IL-1B(-511) polymorphisms in large independent cohorts of 503 control individuals and 395 patients with AD, and a further 100 with brain Abeta load. No evidence was found of risk for AD with these variants, nor of an effect on age at onset. However, an impact of IL-1B(-511) on Abeta(40) load (p < 0.05) was detected.
