- Purpose: To investigate the associations of genotypes of NDUFAF6 rs6982393 and APOE and their combined genotypes with the risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Chinese rural elderly.Methods: This cross-sectional population-based study included 5096 older adults (age ≥ 60 years, 57.1% female). Genotypes of NDUFAF6 rs6982393 and APOE were detected using the multiple-polymerase chain reaction amplification. We diagnosed AD following the criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the fourth edition and diagnosed MCI following the Petersen’s criteria MCI. Data were analyzed using the logistic regression model.Results: The overall prevalence of AD and MCI was 3.57% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.040, 0.053) and 22.65% (95% CI: 0.223, 0.247), separately. The TT versus CC/CT genotype of NDUFAF6 rs6982393 was related to a higher risk of AD with the multi-adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) being 1.61 (1.02, 2.54) in the total sample, 3.36 (1.48, 7.60) in those aged 60– 69, and 1.24 (0.71, 2.17) in those aged 70 years and above. The interaction between genotype of NDUFAF6 rs6982393 with age groups (60– 69 versus ≥ 70 years) was significant on the risk of AD. The presence of APOE ϵ4 was not significantly associated with the risk of AD. Carrying both NDUFAF6 TT and APOE ϵ4 was related to a higher risk of AD with the multi-adjusted odds ratio (95% CI) being 2.69 (1.10, 2.56). In addition, there was no significant association between the above genotypes and MCI.Conclusion: In Chinese rural elderly, the TT versus CT/CC genotype of NDUFAF6 rs6982393 was associated with an increased likelihood of AD; such an association only existed among young-old adults. Carrying both NDUFAF6 rs6982393-TT and APOE ϵ4 was related to a higher risk of AD. This finding highlights the importance of considering age and combined genotype in studying the genetic profiles of AD.

- Genetic studies have identified Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated SNPs in TOMM40 and PVRL2 genes, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We examined their associations and interactions with AD risk and plasma biomarkers among Chinese older adults. This population-based study included 4876 participants. TOMM40(rs2075650) and PVRL2(rs6859) polymorphisms were detected using multiple-polymerase chain reaction amplification. Plasma Aβ40, Aβ42, and t-tau concentrations were measured using SIMOA in a subsample (n = 1257). AD was diagnosed following the international criteria. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic and general linear models. AD was diagnosed in 182 participants. The multiadjusted odds ratio of AD was 6.24 (95% CI 1.73–22.48) for TOMM40GG, 1.47 (0.89–2.42) for PVRL2AA, and 12.87 (3.97–41.73) for having both risk alleles (Pinteraction = 0.0003). Among APOEε3/ε3 carriers, the multiadjusted odds ratio of AD associated with TOMM40AG was 2.90(1.15–7.31). In biomarker subsample, TOMM40GG was significantly associated with lower plasma Aβ42 and the Aβ42-to-Aβ40 ratio (p < 0.05). TOMM40 genotype is differentially associated with AD risk depending on APOE genotype. TOMM40 and PVRL2 genes could interact to substantially increase AD risk, possibly through influencing Aβ metabolism.
