Abstract excerpt
The neuronal sortilin-related receptor with A-type repeats (SORL1, also called LR11 or sorLA) is involved in amyloidogenesis, and the SORL1 gene is a major risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We investigated AD-related CSF biomarkers for associations with SORL1 genetic variants in 105 German patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD. The homozygous CC-allele of single nucleotide polymorphism...
