Sequence variants of toll like receptor 4 and late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
<h4>Background</h4>Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) has been related to inflammation and beta-amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. No study has explored the association between haplotype-tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) of TLR4 and AD risk previously and...
