Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified immune-related genes as risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD), including TREM2 and CD33, frequently passing a stringent false-discovery rate. These genes either encode or signal through immunomodulatory tyrosine-phosphorylated inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) or activation motifs (ITAMs) and govern processes critical to AD pathology, such as inflammation and...
