We analyzed rs-fMRI characteristics of TOMM40 rs157581-G carriers of AD for the first time, which suggest that TOMM40 rs157581-G plays a harmful role in AD patients.
The minor allele of rs4420638 (G) and the minor allele of rs157582 (T) showed associations with lower Mini-mental State Examination score, higher Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale 11 score and smaller entorhinal volume using both baseline and longitudinal measurements, as well as with accelerated cognitive decline.

In addition, our GWAS showed that both rs2075650 and rs157580 were significantly associated with the poliovirus receptor-related 2 (PVRL2) gene (FDR < 0.25), which is involved in spreading of herpes simplex virus (HSV).
To evaluate cognitive performance and presence of polymorphisms of the genes SORL1(rs11218304), PVRL2(rs6859), CR1(rs6656401), TOMM40(rs2075650), APOE (isoforms ɛ2, ɛ3, ɛ4), PICALM(rs3851179), GWAS_14q(rs11622883), BIN1(rs744373), and CLU (rs227959 and rs11136000) in patients with MCI and healthy individuals.

To interrogate a poly-T variant (rs10524523, '523) in <i>TOMM40</i>, a gene adjacent to the <i>APOE</i> gene on chromosome 19, in older persons with <i>APOE</i> ε3/3 homozygosity for association with cognitive decline, the clinical hallmark of Alzheimer disease (AD).
However, Kaplan-Meier survival analyses suggest that AD patients with TOMM40 allele rs2075650-G have an average age of disease onset of 6 years earlier compared with carriers of the A allele.
The rs10527454 polymorphism in the TOMM40 gene seems to have a disease modifying effect on sIBM by delaying the onset of symptoms, and this effect may be enhanced by the APOE ε3/ε3 genotype.
Multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age, gender and body mass index revealed that rs964184 of ZPR1 (P=5.1x10‑7; odds ratio, 1.37; dominant model), rs4845625 of IL6R (P=0.0019, odds ratio, 1.25; dominant model) and rs46522 of UBE2Z (P=0.0039, odds ratio, 1.19; dominant model) were significantly associated with hypertriglyceridemia, and that rs599839 of PSRC1 (P=0.0004, odds ratio, 0.70; dominant model) and rs2075650 of TOMM40 (P=0.0004, odds ratio, 1.43; dominant model) were significantly associated with hyper‑LDL‑cholesterolemia.

Children with CP were more likely than expected to carry the APOEε3 allele (RR 7.5; CI: 0.99-53.7 for heterozygotes and 10.3; CI: 1.4-79.6 for homozygotes), and to have the haplotype of APOEε3 and rs59007384 G (RR 2.4; CI: 1-5.7 for heterozygotes, RR 3.7; CI: 1.4-9.5 for homozygotes) whereas the distribution was as expected for rs59007384 alone.
We found 2 independent associations among European-Americans in the 19q13.32 region: rs769449 (APOE intron; p = 3.1 × 10(-20)) and rs115881343 (TOMM40 intron; p = 6.6 × 10(-11)). rs769449 was also associated with cognitive decline among African-Americans (p = 0.005), but rs115881343 was not.
Logistic regression analysis revealed that SNPs APOA5 T - 1131C (rs662799), APOA5 T1259C (rs2266788), TOMM40 A/G (rs157580), and CETP TaqIB (rs708272) were significantly associated with CKD risk in those individuals genotyped, with age- and sex-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) per minor allele (and 95% confidence intervals (CIs)) of OR 1.22 (95% CI: 1.06-1.39), 1.19 (1.03-1.37), 1.27 (1.12-1.45), and 0.81 (0.71-0.92), respectively.
Each individual was firstly genotyped for TOMM40 rs157581 and was further assessed by resting-state functional MRI to evaluate regional brain activity using amplitude low-frequency fluctuation analysis (ALFF). aMCI patients showed decreased ALFF in the left inferior frontal gyrus and insula, and increased ALFF in right posterior cingulate, lingual gyrus and calcarine sulcus.
Our results suggest that TOMM40 rs2075650</span> may be a risk factor for the development of depression characterized by reduced extraversion, impaired executive function, and decreased positive emotional recall, and reduced top-down cortical control during sad emotion processing.
Our prevalent case study comparing prevalent AD cases (n = 428) with participants with no cognitive impairment (n = 524) revealed a significant association of rs6656401 and rs3818361 (CR1), rs2075650 (TOMM40), rs7561528 (BIN1), and rs3865444 (CD33) with late-onset AD that were robust to adjustment with age and apolipoprotein E ε4 genotype.
