Background/AimsInteraction of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) with amyloid‐β increases amplification of oxidative stress and plays pathological roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Oxidative stress leads to α‐synuclein aggregation and is also a major contributing factor in the pathogenesis of Lewy body dementias (LBDs). Therefore, we aimed to investigate whetherRAGEgene polymorphisms were associated with AD and LBDs.MethodsFour single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)—rs1800624, rs1800625, rs184003, and rs2070600—of the gene were analyzed using a case–control study design comprising 288 AD patients, 76 LBDs patients, and 105 age‐matched controls.ResultsLinkage disequilibrium (LD) examination showed strong LD from rs1800624 to rs2070600 on the gene (1.1 kb) in our cases in Japan. Rs184003 was associated with an increased risk of AD. Although there were no statistical associations for the other three SNPs, haplotypic analyses detected genetic associations between AD and theRAGEgene. Although relatively few cases were studied, results from the SNPs showed that they did not modify the risk of developing LBDs in the Japanese population.ConclusionOur findings suggested that polymorphisms in theRAGEgene are involved in genetic susceptibility to AD.
