White matter hyperintensity genetic risk factor TRIM47 regulates autophagy in brain endothelial cells
27 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
White matter hyperintensity (WMH) is strongly correlated with age-related dementia and hypertension, but its pathogenesis remains obscure. Genome-wide association studies identified TRIM47 at the 17q25 locus as a top genetic risk factor for WMH formation. TRIM family is a class of E3 ubiquitin ligase with pivotal functions in autophagy, which is critical for brain endothelial cell (ECs) remodeling during...
