Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genome-wide association studies have implicated complement in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The CR1*2 variant of complement receptor 1 (CR1; CD35), confers increased AD risk. We confirmed CR1 expression on glial cells; however, how CR1 variants influence AD risk remains unclear. METHODS: Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia and astrocytes were generated from donors homozygous for the common...
