Abstract excerpt
The pathogenetic mechanism of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is still unknown; however, genetic variants play a critical role in the pathogenesis of AD. It has been reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the sortilin-related receptor with A-type repeats (SORL1, also called LR11 or sorLA) are associated with late-onset AD in Caucasian populations. Subsequently, other researchers have attempted to...
