Abstract:
Increased levels ofMonocyteChemoattractant
Protein (MCP)-1 have
been found in cerebrospinal fluid from
patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration
(FTLD), suggesting a role
in neurodegeneration. 209 patients
with sporadic FTLD were genotyped
for the A-2518G single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) in MCP-1 and
compared with 203 age-matched controls.
Asignificantly decreased allelic
frequency of theGallele in patients as
compared with controls was observed
(21.1 vs. 29.3%, p = 0.010, OR: 0.59,
CI: 0.40 – 0.87). Stratifying for gender,
the significance was reached in
males only, whereas no differences
were observed stratifying for ApoE
status. None of patients was a carrier
of mutations in progranulin gene.
Therefore, the A-2518G SNP likely
represent a protective factor for the
development of sporadic FTLD
