Overlap between Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease in ABCA7 functional variants
15 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Given their reported function in phagocytosis and clearance of protein aggregates in Alzheimer disease (AD), we hypothesized that variants in ATP-binding cassette transporter A7 (ABCA7) might be involved in Parkinson disease (PD). METHODS: ABCA7 variants were identified using whole-exome sequencing (WES) on 396 unrelated patients with PD and 222 healthy controls. In addition, we used the publicly...
