Reduced secreted clusterin as a mechanism for Alzheimer-associated CLU mutations
15 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The clusterin (CLU) gene has been identified as an important risk locus for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although the actual risk-increasing polymorphisms at this locus remain to be identified, we previously observed an increased frequency of rare non-synonymous mutations and small insertion-deletions of CLU in AD patients, which specifically clustered in the β-chain domain of CLU. Nonetheless the...
