Association of TLR4 with Alzheimer's disease risk and presymptomatic biomarkers of inflammation.
Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association(2019)
Abstract
INTRODUCTION:A coding variant in the TLR4 receptor (rs4986790), previously associated with longevity and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk reduction, was examined in a population isolate (Québec Founder Population [QFP]) and in presymptomatic individuals with a parental history of AD (Pre-Symptomatic Evaluation of Novel or Experimental Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease [PREVENT-AD]).
METHODS:Genotyping was performed using the Illumina HumanHap 550k (QFP) and the Illumina Omni2.5 beadchips (PREVENT-AD). Cognition was assessed using the Repeatable Battery for Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Whole-brain cortical thickness data were analyzed using CIVET 1.12. Cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of cytokines were obtained by using Milliplex.
RESULTS:The minor allele of the rs4986790 polymorphism (G) is associated with a reduced risk of developing AD in the QFP, as well as higher visuospatial and constructional abilities, higher cortical thickness in visual-related regions, and stable cerebrospinal fluid IL-1β levels in the PREVENT-AD cohort.
DISCUSSION:The rs4986790 G coding variant in the TLR4 gene appears to reduce AD risk through the modulation of IL-1β synthesis and secretion in the presymptomatic phase of the disease.
