A 14 bp indel variation in the NCX1 gene modulates the age at onset in late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Calcium homeostasis is critical to amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) processing. Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) proteins play an important role in maintaining intracellular Na(+) and Ca(2+) homeostasis in the brain under physiological and pathological conditions. We sequenced a hyper-variable region in intron 2 of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger 1 gene (NCX1), and investigated whether insertion/deletion variations in...
