Abstract

The MTHFD1L gene SNP variant rs11754661 was found to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease in a recent Whole Genome Association Study [1]. We have carried out an independent study of this genetic variant in 2467 individuals from Spain. We found no evidence of association between the MTHFD1L marker and susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease in our sample.
