Rs1050283

rs1050283, a SNP also known as +1073, is located in the 3' untranslated region of the oxidized low density lipoprotein (lectin-like) receptor 1 OLR1 gene, which is also known as the LOX-1 gene.

The rs1050283(C) allele has been associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease in several studies of ~200 Southern Italian Alzheimer patients. The risk is independent of ApoE status, and may also be defined by haplotypes including one or both of neighboring SNPs rs12316150 and rs669.[PMID 15860461, PMID 18191876]
