- Abstract
- Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia
among senile subjects. It has been proposed that AD can be caused by defects in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
Given the fundamental contribution of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) for the respiratory chain, there have been a
number of studies investigating the association between mtDNA inherited variants and multifactorial diseases, however no
general consensus has been reached yet on the correlation between mtDNA haplogroups and AD.
Methodology/Principal Findings: We applied for the first time a high resolution analysis (sequencing of displacement loop
and restriction analysis of specific markers in the coding region of mtDNA) to investigate the possible association between
mtDNA-inherited sequence variation and AD in 936 AD patients and 776 cognitively assessed normal controls from central
and northern Italy. Among over 40 mtDNA sub-haplogroups analysed, we found that sub-haplogroup H5 is a risk factor for
AD (OR = 1.85, 95% CI:1.04-3.23) in particular for females (OR = 2.19, 95% CI:1.06-4.51) and independently from the APOE
genotype. Multivariate logistic regression revealed an interaction between H5 and age. When the whole sample is
considered, the H5a subgroup of molecules, harboring the 4336 transition in the tRNAGln gene, already associated to AD in
early studies, was about threefold more represented in AD patients than in controls (2.0% vs 0.8%; p = 0.031), and it might
account for the increased frequency of H5 in AD patients (4.2% vs 2.3%). The complete re-sequencing of the 56 mtDNAs
belonging to H5 revealed that AD patients showed a trend towards a higher number (p = 0.052) of sporadic mutations in
tRNA and rRNA genes when compared with controls.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that high resolution analysis of inherited mtDNA sequence variation can help in
identifying both ancient polymorphisms defining sub-haplogroups and the accumulation of sporadic mutations associated
with complex traits such as AD. (literal)
