In this replication study, we reassessed whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the REST gene are linked with cognitive aging independently and/or through complex interactions in an older Taiwanese population. Methods: A total of 634 Taiwanese subjects aged over 60 years from the Taiwan Biobank were analyzed. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were performed for all subjects to weigh cognitive functions. Results: Our data showed that the REST rs1277306 SNP was significantly associated with cognitive aging among all subjects (p = 0.0052). Furthermore, the association remained significant for individuals without APOE ?4 allele (p = 0.0092), but not for individuals with at least 1 APOE ?4 allele. This association remained significant after Bonferroni correction. Additionally, we found the interactions between the rs1713985 and rs1277306 SNPs on cognitive aging (p = 0.016). However, the 3-marker haplotype derived from the rs1713985, rs3796529, and rs7680734 SNPs in the REST gene demonstrated no association with cognitive aging. Conclusion: Our study indicates that the REST gene may contribute to susceptibility to cognitive aging independently as well as through SNP-SNP and APOE-REST interactions. ? 2017 S. Karger AG, Basel.
