Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a key marker of systemic inflammation that affects blood vessel endothelial function, including in the brain. Since endothelial dysfunction is linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD), we investigated whether elevated CRP level interacts with genetic pathways in brain endothelial cells to influence AD risk. METHODS: Using AD genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, we developed...
