Abstract excerpt
Nasu-Hakola disease (NHD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that is characterized by cyst-like bone lesions and pathologic fractures combined with an early-onset frontal type of dementia. Mutations in DNAX-activation protein 12 (DAP12) and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) are the known genetic causes of NHD. However, the role of both these genes in the neurodegenerative process is...
