| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We revealed it with the mouse and human that amyloid (Aβ) 1-42 could be converted to Aβ1-40 with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). The ACE has genetic I(Isoleucine )/D (Aspartic acid) polymorphism that reported that I type holders have the risk of Alzheimer`s diseasae (AD).
In this ersarch, we analyzed I/D polymorphism with 488 cases. The 165 cases have been diagnosed with AD. The analysis of ACE polymorphism, AD group were that DD type was 25 (15%) / ID 73 (44%) / II 67 (41%) and non AD group was DD 42 (13%) / ID 141 (44%) / II. This results did not have statistical significant with Chi-square test. Even focused on apoE negative group, group, the ratio of I/D polymorphism in 84 AD cases was DD 16 (19%) / ID 31 (37%) / II 37 (44%) and no tendency of statistical significant was observed. Unfortunately, with in this study period, we could not get positive findings including the gene analysis. Brain and blood sampling are in progress, we will continue further research.
