Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing family protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is an essential component of the innate immune system and regulates inflammation. NLRP3 inflammasome has been widely studied in the pathogenesis of mild cognitive impairments (MCI) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NLRP3 gene are associated with various...
