Abstract excerpt
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts (RHI). However, individuals with similar RHI exposure can show differing pathology, suggesting a role for genetic variation. A common Transmembrane Protein 106B (TMEM106B) risk variant is associated with greater CTE severity, though its mechanism remains unclear. To determine whether TMEM106B alters the...
