Abstract excerpt
The amyloid beta-protein (Abeta)-induced complement system activation plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Complement receptor 1 (CR1) is thought to contribute to Abeta clearance. A recent large genome-wide association study (GWAS) has identified significant association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs6656401 and rs3818361) in the CR1 gene with AD in Caucasians. Here, we performed...
