abstract：:An intronic polymorphism affecting alternative splicing of exon 8 of ubiquilin 1 (UBQLN1), that is located at a well established Alzheimer's disease (AD) locus on chromosome 9q22, was recently associated with increased risk for late-onset AD. We analyzed this polymorphism in two independent AD samples consisting of pa...
