Genetic predisposition to weight loss and regain with lifestyle intervention: Analyses from the Diabetes Prevention Program and the Look AHEAD randomized controlled trials.
Diabetes 64, 4312-4321 (2015)
We investigated the genetic overlap between Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Using summary statistics (P-values) from large recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (total n=89 904 individuals), we sought to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associating with both AD and PD. We found and replicated association of both AD and PD with the A allele of rs393152 within the extended MAPT region on chromosome 17 (meta analysis P-value across five independent AD cohorts=1.65 × 10−7). In independent datasets, we found a dose-dependent effect of the A allele of rs393152 on intra-cerebral MAPT transcript levels and volume loss within the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Our findings identify the tau-associated MAPT locus as a site of genetic overlap between AD and PD, and extending prior work, we show that the MAPT region increases risk of Alzheimer’s neurodegeneration.
