Alzheimer's disease related single nucleotide polymorphisms and correlation with intracerebral hemorrhage incidence.

ABSTRACT: Apolipoprotein E alleles have been associated with both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In addition, ICH is associated with a markedly high risk of subsequent dementia compared to other subtypes of stroke. We sought to evaluate if other genetic markers for AD were also associated with ICH. We examined whether published AD risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes were associated with ICH utilizing genome-wide association study data from 2 independent studies (genetic and environmental risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke [GERFHS] study and genetics of cerebral hemorrhage with anticoagulation [GOCHA]). Analyses included evaluation by location of ICH. GERFHS and GOCHA cohorts contained 745 ICH cases and 536 controls for analysis. The strongest ass
