Abstract excerpt
PICALM might play an important role in AD pathology through participating in altering synaptic vesicle cycling or APP endocytosis. A recent genome-wide study (GWAS) identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3851179 in the 5' to the PICALM gene strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Caucasians. In order to assess the involvement of the PICALM polymorphism in the risk of developing...
