Large-scale Analyses of CAV1 and CAV2 Suggest Their Expression is Higher in Post-mortem ALS Brain Tissue and Affects Survival
2022-11-05
Abstract excerpt
Caveolin-1 and Caveolin-2 (CAV1 and CAV2) are proteins associated with intercellular neurotrophic signalling. There is converging evidence that CAV1 and CAV2 (CAV1/2) genes have a role in ALS. Disease-associated variants have been identified within CAV1/2 enhancers, which reduce gene expression and lead to disruption of membrane lipid rafts. Using large ALS whole-genome sequencing and post-mortem RNA sequencing da...
