Genomic DNA was isolated using the Wizard Genomic DNA purification kit (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) from 4-ml peripheral blood samples according to the manufacturer's protocol. Genotyping of PICALM rs541458 and APOE was performed using the iPLEX Assay (SEQUENOM iPLEX® Gold Reagent Kit) according to the assay instructions for PCR amplification, SAP treatment, adjusting extension primers, iPLEX reaction, resin extraction, addition to SpectroCHIP bioarray, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis. Details were described previously (24 (link)).
