Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a strong genetic component, with APOE ε4 being the most established risk factor through its effects on beta-amyloid (Aβ) metabolism and microglial function. Recent genetic studies have also implicated microglial genes, such as the ABI3S209F variant, to increased AD risk. As APOE ε4 and ABI3S209F influence microglial pathways through distinct mechanisms, their combined...
