Abstract

Increased levels ofMonocyteChemoattractant Protein (MCP)-1 have been found in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), suggesting a role in neurodegeneration. 209 patients with sporadic FTLD were genotyped for the A-2518G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in MCP-1 and compared with 203 age-matched controls. Asignificantly decreased allelic frequency of theGallele in patients as compared with controls was observed (21.1 vs. 29.3%, p = 0.010, OR: 0.59, CI: 0.40 – 0.87). Stratifying for gender, the significance was reached in males only, whereas no differences were observed stratifying for ApoE status. None of patients was a carrier of mutations in progranulin gene. Therefore, the A-2518G SNP likely represent a protective factor for the development of sporadic FTLD
