Abstract excerpt
Tau-tubuline kinase 1 (TTBK1) is a recently discovered brain-specific protein kinase involved in tau phosphorylation at AD-related sites. A recent large study has identified significant association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2651206 and rs7764257) in the TTBK1 gene with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) in Spanish. Here, we performed a case-control study to clarify whether the risk for...
