Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variants in Niemann-Pick Type C genes (NPC1 and NPC2) have been suggested to play a role as risk or disease modifying factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze NPC1 and NPC2 variability in demented patients with evidence of brain amyloid-β 1-42 (Aβ) deposition and to correlate genetic data with clinical phenotypes. METHODS: A targeted Next Generation...
