Apolipoprotein E levels in cerebrospinal fluid and the effects of ABCA1polymorphisms
12 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Animal studies suggest that brain apolipoprotein E (apoE) levels influence amyloid-beta (Abeta) deposition and thus risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We have previously demonstrated that deletion of the ATP-binding cassette A1 transporter (ABCA1) in mice causes dramatic reductions in brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) apoE levels and lipidation. To examine whether polymorphisms in ABCA1 affect CSF...
