BACKGROUND The M/V polymorphism in the PRNP gene has been extensively examined for the association to the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD); however, results from different studies have been inconsistent. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the M/V polymorphism in the PRNP gene and the risk of AD. METHODS A meta-analysis was carried out to analyze the association between the M/V polymorphism in the PRNP gene and the risk of AD. RESULTS A total of 4228 cases and 4324… CONTINUE READING
