Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that TMP21 is a selective modulator of γ-secretase and its dysregulation affects APP processing, leading to increased Aβ generation. However, the genetic association between Tmp21 and Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains elusive. In this study, we identified that a novel single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs12435391 (IVS4-28T>C) in intron 4 of Tmp21 was genetically associated with AD. We...
