- BACKGROUND: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a dementing condition featuring characteristic symptoms, ventriculomegaly, and normal or slightly elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure. In Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, diffuse aggregates of amyloid-β (Aβ) and neurofibrillary hyperphosphorylated tau are detected in the neocortex of the brain, while similar accumulation of Aβ is also detected in iNPH. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several novel risk loci for AD, potentially affecting Aβ-related cellular processes. Apart from the apolipoprotein E ɛ4 allele (APOE4), the risk effect of single loci is low, emphasizing the importance of the polygenic risk score approach when assessing the combined effects.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of AD-associated individual and polygenic risk score of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the accumulation of Aβ in the brain samples of iNPH patients.METHODS: A sample set of frontal cortex biopsies from 188 iNPH patients were divided into two groups according to the Aβ pathology. After the genotyping of the AD-associated risk loci, polygenic risk score was calculated for each iNPH patient and subsequently analyzed in relation to Aβ deposition.RESULTS: Apart from the APOE4, none of the SNPs revealed a statistically significant effect on the accumulation of Aβ in iNPH. Also, the non-APOE4 polygenic risk score did not associate with Aβ deposition.CONCLUSION: Novel AD-associated risk genes have no significant effect on Aβ accumulation in the brain of iNPH patients. However, APOE4 affects the Aβ deposition in the brain of iNPH and AD patients in a similar manner.
