Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) has been implicated in the abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, and the development of neurofibrillary tangles, we examined the contribution of this gene to the susceptibility for AD. METHODS: We examined genetic variations of DYRK1A by genotyping haplotype tagging SNPs (htSNPs) (rs11701483,...
