Abstract: A missense C/T polymorphism in exon 6 (the NCBI rsID is rs2227564) of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene has been identified as a possible hot spot for Alzheimer's disease risk.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 Alzheimer'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 sporadic Alzheimer's disease in the Han Chinese population.
