Abstract excerpt
Deregulation of the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) plays a critical role in the neurodegenerative cascade of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Significantly, common functional polymorphisms in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene are a risk factor for the development of late-onset AD. Reduced MTHFR activity is associated with alterations in folate and homocysteine metabolism. Here, we first show...
