The most significant SNP, rs7287133 is in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with some other significant SNPs and borderline significant SNPs ( Supplementary Fig. 1 ), suggesting that the haplotype in this region is probably important for AD. 4 Discussion There are 2 major limitations in the present study.
We have previously shown that in DS polymorphisms in PICALM and APOE are associated with AOO of dementia, and there is a nonsignificant trend in risk allele loading derived from AD meta-analysis ( Jones et al., 2013 ).
