| Abstract | Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed that the ABCA7 rs3764650 polymorphism (or its proxies, namely rs115550680, rs3752246, and rs4147929) is associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) susceptibility in individuals of Caucasian ancestry. The following studies have investigated this finding in Chinese (N = 633 and N = 1,224), Japanese (N = 1,735), Korean (N = 844), African American (N = 5,896), and Canadian (N = 1,104) populations. However, these studies reported a weak or negligible association. We hypothesized that these negative results may have been caused by either relatively small sample sizes compared with those used for the previous GWAS in individuals of Caucasian ancestry or the genetic heterogeneity of the rs3764650 polymorphism (or its proxies) in different populations. Here, we reevaluated the association between rs3764650 and AD using large-scale samples from 18 previous studies (N = 79,381—30,590 cases and 48,791 controls) by searching PubMed, AlzGene, and Google Scholar databases. Using allele, dominant, recessive, and additive models, we did not identify significant heterogeneity among the 18 studies. We observed a significant association between rs3764650 and AD using the allele (P = 1.76E − 26, odds ratio (OR) = 1.21, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.17–1.26), dominant (P = 4.00E − 04, OR = 1.17, 95 % CI 1.07–1.28), recessive (P = 3.00E − 03, OR = 1.43, 95 % CI 1.13–1.81), and additive models (P = 3.00E − 03, OR = 1.49, 95 % CI 1.16–1.91). Collectively, our analysis further supports previous findings that the ABCA7 rs3764650 polymorphism is associated with AD susceptibility. We believe that our findings will be very useful for future genetic studies on AD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
