Introduction: Recent studies indicate that there is a synergic association
between butyrylcholinesterase K Variant (BChE-K) and apolipoprotein E e4
(APOE-E4) in risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), whereas some studies, have
been unable to confirm these findings.
Methods: We decided to conduct a study in 105 Alzheimer patients from
Tehran, Iran and 129 age and sex matched controls test for can association
between BChE-K,APOE-g4,and AD by PCR RFLP methods.
Results indicate that distribution of BChE genotype in AD group shows
significantly differentcompared to thecontrolgroup(X2=12.2,df=2,p=0.002). In
