The genotype and allele distributions of the BChE-K were determined by polymerase chain reaction and subsequent DNA sequencing. The BChE activity was measured in plasma according to the Ellman’s method.Results: The BChE-K allele frequencies in the Thai community-dwelling patients were in accordance with other ethnics. The BChE-K allele frequency in the control subjects (12%) was higher than that of MCI patients (5.5%), suggesting a protective role of BChE-K for MCI in the Thai community-dwelling patients. The BChE-K homozygotes were significantly associated with lower BChE activity.Conclusion: Our results suggested that the BChE-K may be implicated as a protective factor for MCI in the Thai community-dwelling patients, although a further study with a large sample size is warranted to confirm this.Keywords: butyrylcholinesterase K variant, butyrylcholinesterase activity, mild cognitive impairment, Thai community-dwelling patientsPongthanaracht NYanarojana SPinthong DUnchern SThithapandha AAssantachai PSupavilai PDove Medical Pressarticlebutyrylcholinesterase K-variantbutyrylcholinesterase activitymild cognitive impairmentThai community-dwelling patientsGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 12, Pp 897-901 (2017)
