Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We previously reported that genetic variants in SORCS1 increase the risk of AD, that over-expression of SorCS1 reduces γ-secretase activity and Aβ levels, and that SorCS1 suppression increases γ-secretase processing of APP and Aβ levels. We now explored the effect of variation in SORCS1 on memory. METHODS: We explored associations between SORCS1-SNPs and memory retention in the NIA-LOAD case control...
