Abstract excerpt
Increased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), a protein known to contribute to inflammatory responses, has been detected in the brain tissue of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and animals modelled to mimic AD or Parkinson's disease (PD). ICAM1 may, thus, be implicated in the pathogenesis of these disorders. Our purpose was to investigate whether genetic variants of the ICAM1 gene have...
