** :Among the numerous genes in which susceptibility polymorphisms to develop sporadic AD have been found, we have pointed out those 10 genes which, up to now, have shown a greater degree of association (taken from
http://www.alzforum.org/res/com/gen/alzgene/ in November 2008).
FAD: familial Alzheimer's disease.
a OR: Odds ratio obtained from the meta analysis of all available studies (a) and studies on Caucasians (b). SA: susceptibility alleles.
