Alzheimer's disease‐associated P460L variant of EphA1 dysregulates receptor activity and blood‐brain barrier function

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Genome-wide association studies link susceptibility to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) with EphA1. Sequencing identified a non-synonymous substitution P460L as a LOAD risk variant. Other Ephs regulate vascular permeability and immune cell recruitment. We hypothesized that P460L dysregulates EphA1 receptor activity and impacts neuroinflammation. METHODS: EphA1/P460L receptor activity was...
