Genetic polymorphism of cathepsin D is strongly associated with the risk for developing sporadic Alzheimer's disease
Abstract
The beta amyloid peptide derives from its precursor protein via proteolytic cleavage of yet unidentified proteases (beta- and gamma-secretases). Cathepsin D is an intracellular protease with in-vitro beta-secretase-like features. An exonic polymorphism of the cathepsin D gene (alanine to valine transition at position 224, exon 2) has been associated with altered enzyme function. We tested the hypothesis that this polymorphism is associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease in 102 demented patients, 191 healthy subjects, and 160 depressed patients. There was a highly significant overrepresentation of the cathepsin D*T allele in demented patients (14.2%) compared to non-demented controls (6.7%, P = 0.0012). Carriers of the cathepsin D*T allele had a 2.4-fold increased risk for developing AD than non-carriers. Carriers of the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 allele had a 4.1 -fold increased risk than non-carriers. The odds ratio for subjects with the apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 and the cathepsin D*T allele was 5.9. Our data suggest that the cathepsin D genotype is strongly associated with the risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Polymorphisms in several lysosomal cathepsin genes are associated with increased AD susceptibility.
“Genetic studies further support lysosomal involvement, as polymorphisms in several lysosomal cathepsin genes are associated with increased AD susceptibility (Bhojak et al. 2001), (Papassotiropoulos et al. 1999).”

Cathepsin polymorphisms increase AD risk, whereas cystatin B/C deletion improves phenotypes.
“Cathepsin polymorphisms increase AD risk (Bhojak et al. 2001), (Papassotiropoulos et al. 1999), whereas cystatin B/C deletion improves phenotypes (Mi et al. 2007), (Yang et al. 2011), (Yang et al. 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
