Brain Transcriptome Analysis of a Protein-Truncating Mutation in Sortilin-Related Receptor 1 Associated With Early-Onset Familial Alzheimer's Disease Indicates Early Effects on Mitochondrial and Ribosome Function.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The early cellular stresses leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain poorly understood because we cannot access living, asymptomatic human AD brains for detailed molecular analyses. Sortilin-related receptor 1 (SORL1) encodes a multi-domain receptor protein genetically associated with both rare, early-onset familial AD (EOfAD) and common, sporadic, late-onset AD (LOAD). SORL1 protein has been shown...
