Effect of the −219 G/T polymorphism on amyloid load according to age in the brains of 114 patients with Alzheimer’s disease
| Genotype | Age less than median* | Age more than median* | p Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GG+GT | TT | p Value | GG+GT | TT | ||
| Values are mean per cent amyloid load with (range). | ||||||
