  1. PILRA is associated with Alzheimer's disease in humans (joint effect with PILRA × GM17/17 in the replication cohort) (p .02).

    “In the replication cohort, a joint effect of PILRA and PILRA × GM 17/17 was observed for the risk of developing AD (p .02).”

  2. PILRA is linked with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease in humans (interaction with APOE risk variants (ε3/ε4 or ε4/ε4) in the discovery dataset) (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.32-0.98).
