Abstract excerpt
The cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) into amyloidogenic components (Abeta) is a central event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). FE65 is a protein that is involved in APP metabolism and may facilitate the production of Abeta. Recently, an intronic polymorphism of the gene encoding FE65 (FE65) was associated with altered risk for the development of sporadic AD. In our sample of 102 AD...
