Identifying New COVID-19 Receptor Neuropilin-1 in Severe Alzheimer’s Disease Patients Group Brain Using Genome-Wide Association Study Approach

Abstract excerpt

Recent preclinical studies show that Neuropilin-1 (NRP1), which is a transmembrane protein with roles in neuronal development, axonal outgrowth, and angiogenesis, also plays a role in the infectivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Thus, we hypothesize that NRP1 may be upregulated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and that a correlation between AD and SARS-CoV-2 NRP1-mediated...
