The results of meta-analysis in subgroups (Caucasian and Asian) and the whole showed that the minor allele (C allele) within rs11218343 played a protective effect on AD risk (OR (95 % CI), 0.77 (0.72-0.83), 0.85 (0.79-0.91), 0.81 (0.76-0.85), respectively).
Altogether, five loci (rs6656401 at CR1, rs983392within MS4A6A, rs11218343 at SORL1, rs6733839 at BIN1, and APOE ε4) have been detected to be associated with one or a few established AD-related neuroimaging measures.
