Endothelin-Converting Enzyme-1 Promoter Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Sporadic Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease in a Chinese Population

Endothelin converting enzyme (ECE-1) is a candidate Alzheimer disease susceptibility gene. It was previously reported that western individuals homozygous for the C-338A polymorphism (AA) within the ECE1 gene promoter region are at reduced risk of developing late onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD).
