摘要
Although a portion of risk for late-onset AD (LOAD) is attributable to APOE, the search for other loci is ongoing. The authors hypothesize that psychotic symptoms with LOAD (LOAD+P) identify a potentially more etiologically homogeneous form of AD. Linkage analysis of families with LOAD+P identified one significant and several suggestive novel linkage signals, which bolsters the conjecture of greater etiologic homogeneity.
