Abstract excerpt
The caveolin 1 gene (CAV1) is over-expressed in experimental animal models of multiple sclerosis (MS). Increased expression of this gene has also been reported in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Loss of this gene, on the other hand, has recently been reported to be associated with neruodegeneration. We have recently reported skew in the homozygote haplotypes of the human CAV1 gene -1.5 kb upstream purine...
