Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) is a clathrin adaptor essential for clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have consistently identified PICALM as one of the most significant genetic susceptibility loci for late-onset sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the functional impact of the most validated AD-associated variant, rs3851179, remains...
