  1. From the AlzGene team:
    Note that only approximately 25-30 percent of the markers that were tested in the chromosome-wide association (CWA) analyses (Grupe et al., 2006 and Li et al., 2006) were also tested in the genome-wide association (GWA) study (Grupe et al., 2007). In particular, markers from the two "featured genes" identified in the CWA (in DAPK and LOC439999) were not included in the GWA. We thank Dr. Grupe for supplying this additional information.
