Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing an individual for early onset Alzheimer's disease by measuring the presence or absence of the minor allele of the rs908832 polymorphism of the ABCA2 gene. The presence of the minor allele of the rs908832 polymorphism of the ABCA2 gene indicates that the individual may be suffering from Alzheimer's disease or exhibits an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
