It could have been a great interest to identify possible DYRK1A genetic association using tagging SNPs located in haplotype blocks flanking the block illustrated in Figure 1; however, our main objective was to study the most strongly associated SNP rs2835740 (intron 3) of the original paper suggesting DYRK1A as a putative gene causing AD [12], and, in addition, we genotyped other SNPs in intron 3 (rs11701483, rs1137600 and rs2835761), intron 4 (rs2835762) and intron 10 (rs2154545 and rs8132976). Here, DYRK1A is linked to Alzheimer disease.
