Abstract
A recent meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in population of Caucasian identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17125944 in the FERMT2 gene as a new susceptibility locus for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). In order to validate the association of the rs17125944 polymorphism with LOAD risk in the northern Han Chinese, we recruited a case–control study of 2338 Han Chinese subjects (984 cases and 1354 age- and gender-matched controls). Our results demonstrated that there was no significant association between the rs17125944 polymorphism and LOAD (genotype: P = 0.953; allele: P = 0.975). Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in alleles and genotypes distribution after stratification by apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 and multivariate logistic regression analysis. We also performed a meta-analysis in 81908 individuals. The meta-analysis showed that the C allele is the risk factor for LOAD in Caucasian group (OR = 1.15, 95 % CI = 1.10–1.20) and combined population (OR = 1.13, 95 % CI = 1.08–1.19). While in Chinese population, the C allele is not associated with increased risk of LOAD (OR = 1.07, 95 % CI = 0.89–1.28). In conclusion, our study showed that the rs17125944 polymorphism in FERMT2 gene might not be association with LOAD in northern Han Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Plexin-A 4 (PLXNA4) gene has recently been recognized as a functional candidate gene of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13232207 of PLXNA4 gene has been reported to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Japanese cohorts. We sought to clarify whether this novel locus gains the same effect in northern Han Chinese. METHODS To investigate the relationship between SNP rs13232207 and AD sufferers, a case-control study of unrelated individuals was conducted with a total sample size of 2,318 subjects (978 cases and 1,340 age and gender matched healthy controls) in a Northern Han Chinese population. SPSS 22.0 was applied for the statistical process. RESULTS No significant difference in polymorphic distribution of rs13232207 was observed on LOAD risk independently under dominant (P=0.057), additive (P=0.233) or recessive model (P=0.392). In terms of interaction with apolipoprotein E (APOE), there is also no positive interaction in dominant (P=0.438), additive (P=0.055) or recessive model (P=0.095). CONCLUSIONS Replication of association between the PLXNA4 rs13232207 and AD in a Han ethnic group indicates that this link is not the result of chance.

Abstract
The disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 (DISC1) is a candidate gene for psychiatric diseases and plays various roles in brain development. It has been reported as a candidate gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a recent large genome-wide association study in Caucasians. To explore the associations between DISC1 and AD, we performed a case-control study including 2318 subjects in Northern Han Chinese. We found that one single nucleotide polymorphism (rs6675281) was associated with the risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) in northern Han Chinese population. As for rs821616 and rs3738401, no association was detected with LOAD. In conclusion, DISC1 increased the risk for LOAD in northern Han Chinese population.
