Abstract excerpt
As a novel risk gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD), triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) gene encodes a type I transmembrane receptor that is uniquely expressed by the microglia in the brain. Emerging evidence indicates a strong association between TREM2 and tau pathology in the cerebral spinal fluid or brain tissue of AD patients. In line with these clinical findings, we found that TREM2 was...
