Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The compilation of a list of genetic modifiers in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an open research field. The GABAergic system is affected in several neurological disorders but its role in AD is largely understudied. OBJECTIVE/METHODS: As an explorative study, we considered variants in genes of GABA catabolism (ABAT, ALDH5A1, AKR7A2), and APOE in 300 Italian patients and 299 controls. We introduce a...
