A cytosine‐thymine (CT)‐rich haplotype in intron 4 of <i>SNCA</i> confers risk for Lewy body pathology in Alzheimer's disease and affects <i>SNCA</i> expression

We have discovered a novel haplotype in a CT-rich region in SNCA that contributes to LB pathology in AD patients, possibly via cis-regulation of the gene expression.
