The present study analyzed urokinase-type plasminogen gene polymorphisms of rs2227564 with sporadic Alzheimer＇s disease by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results showed that CC, CT and TT genotype distribution frequencies had significant differences between sporadic Aizheimer＇s disease patients and healthy controls, in-depth analysis of the association between urokinase-type plasminogen gene rs2227564 polymorphisms and sporadic Alzheimer＇s disease indicated that people with the C-positive genotype CC ＋ CT were at a higher risk for developing sporadic Alzheimer＇s disease. These results support the contribution of the polymorphisms of rs2227564 in the urokinase-type plasminogen gene to the pathogenesis of sporadicAIzheimer＇s disease in the Han Chinese population.展开更多
