Abstract: Apoptosis is correlated with various forms of dementia. Death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1) plays an important role in neuronal apoptosis and could influence the pathology of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). It has been reported that two common polymorphisms (rs4878104 and rs4877365) are associated with LOAD, thus we examined the genotype and allele distributions of the above polymorphisms in 681 Italian subjects, including patients with LOAD and FTD. We showed a positive association between rs4878104 and FTD, suggesting a possible implication of the DAPK1 genetic variant in the susceptibility to FTD.
