Rare variants in the endocytic pathway are associated with Alzheimer's disease, its related phenotypes, and functional consequences.

Abstract excerpt

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the most common type of dementia causing irreversible brain damage to the elderly and presents a major public health challenge. Clinical research and genome-wide association studies have suggested a potential contribution of the endocytic pathway to AD, with an emphasis on common loci. However, the contribution of rare variants in this pathway to AD has not been thoroughly...
