Abstract excerpt
The ADAM10 gene encodes a member of a disintegrin and metalloprotease family, which, after overexpression in Alzheimer's disease (AD), prevents amyloid pathology and improves long-term potentiation and memory. A common polymorphism (rs2305421) within ADAM10 has been recently associated with the risk of developing AD in Europeans. In order to assess the involvement of the ADAM10 polymorphism in the risk of...
