Abstract excerpt
BackgroundCyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) plays a critical role in neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and cytoskeletal regulation. Its dysregulation has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, supporting genetic evidence remains limited in Middle Eastern populations.ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify CDK5 genetic variants in a Saudi cohort with AD and evaluate their association with...
