Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia among older adults. SORL1, a top AD risk gene, encodes an endocytic receptor involved amyloid precursor protein (APP) trafficking and processing. Rare loss-of-function SORL1 variants are a strong genetic determinant of AD, and protein-truncating mutations have been found to be causal. We derived iPSCs from two siblings affected with early-onset AD who...
