Abstract excerpt
We recently identified a rare coding mutation (R186C) in the ECE2 gene in a late-onset AD (LOAD) family, and demonstrated ECE2 is a risk gene for AD development. ECE1 is a homologous enzyme that shares catalytic activity with ECE2. Although ECE1 has been regarded as a potential candidate gene for AD, few studies have investigated the role of ECE1 variants in patients with AD. In this study, we aimed to...
