We identified that one functional exonic SNP (rs2227564) is associated with development of AD using the four independent case-control samples (Munich, P=0.02; Bonn, P=0.005; Brescia (Italy), P=0.001; Perth (Australia), P=0.03) and the discordant sib-pair sample (P=0.001).
This meta-analysis showed that T allele of rs2227564 polymorphism in PLAU gene could increase the effects on risk of AD, and this result needs to be confirmed by further studies.
We genotyped rs4065 [3'-UTR (untranslated region) *141C>T) and rs2227564 (Pro141Leu) in the PLAU gene as well as rs344781 (-516T>C) in the PLAUR gene in 633 MI patients and 1237 gender- and age-matched control subjects.
In order to elucidate the possible role of the Pro121Leu exchange in uPA and the Ala/Thr variants in the signal sequence of PAI-1 in the development and/or progression of human ovarian cancer, we studied the presence of these mutants or variants in a series of 22 ovarian cancer tissues.

This study investigated associations of a C-to-T polymorphism of uPA (P141L, rs2227564) in exon 6 in 454 Japanese health checkup examinees (126 males and 328 females) aged 35 to 85 without a history of cancer.
In addition to the wild-type sequence, the Pro121Leu exchange in the uPA sequence was detected in 10 out of 22 tumor tissues; 11 tumors carried exclusively the Pro121 allele; in one case exclusively the Leu121 allele was detected.

For instance, in a number of variants related to clotting disorders, the phenotype-associated allele is a human genome reference allele (rs6025, rs6003, rs1799983, and rs2227564 using the assembly hg19).
Our results revealed that genetic polymorphisms of the uPA rs4065 C/T and uPAR rs344781 (-516 T/C) were associated with the susceptibility and severity of NSCLC.
