Abstract excerpt
Genetic association studies have identified multiple variants at the SPI1 locus that modify risk and age of onset for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Reports linking risk variants to gene expression suggest that variants denoting higher SPI1 expression are likely to have an earlier AD onset, and several other AD risk genes contain PU.1 binding sites in the promoter region. Overall, this suggests the level of SPI1 may...
