A significant association between TEWL measured on the forearm and the AGT M235T polymorphism was found when AD women were carriers of the MM genotype, with a median of 25 and range 4–61; those patients with the MT genotype had a median of 10 and range of 0.3–39; and patients with the TT genotype had a median of 5 and range of 3–40, p = 0.003. Here, AGT is linked to Alzheimer disease.
