Background: Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD) share a few elements of their clinical, pathological and genetic backgrounds. The CD33 rs3865444 has emerged as a strong genetic locus associated with AD through genome-wide association study (GWAS). However, little is known for its role in PD. Objective: To assess the role of CD33 rs3865444 on PD risk. Methods: We genotyped 358 patients with PD and 358 healthy controls for theCD33 rs3865444. Odds ratios (ORs) with the respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs)], were calculated with the SNPStats software, assuming five genetic models (co-dominant, dominant, recessive, over-dominant and log-additive), with the G allele as the reference allele. Results: The CD33 rs3865444 was associated with decreased PD risk in the dominant [GG vs GT + TT; OR (95% CI) = 0.61 (0.45−0.82), p = 0.001], the over-dominant [GG + TT vs GT; OR (95% CI) = 0.65 (0.48−0.89), p = 0.0061], log-additive [OR (95% CI) = 0.67 (0.52−0.86), p = 0.0014], and co-dominant [with overall p = 0.0043, and OR (95% CI) = 0.62 (0.45−0.84) for the TG genotype compared to the GG], modes of inheritance. Conclusions: The CD33 rs3865444 is associated with decreased PD risk, and larger studies investigating the role of CD33 rs3865444 on PD are needed. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
