Using a binary logistic regression model including UCHL1 allele A and APOE ε4 allele positivity, age and sex as covariates with AD diagnosis as dependent variable, an adjusted OR of 0.82 ([95% CI 0.55-1.24], P = 0.35) was obtained for a positive UCHL1 allele A carrier status. This evidence concerns the gene UCHL1 and Alzheimer disease.
