TOMM40-APOE chimera linking Alzheimer’s highest risk genes: a new pathway for mitochondria regulation and APOE4 pathogenesis
2024-10-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The patho-mechanism of apolipoprotein variant, APOE4, the strongest genetic risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and longevity, remains unclear. APOE’s neighboring gene, TOMM40 (mitochondria protein transport channel), is associated with brain trauma outcome and aging-related cognitive decline, however its role in AD APOE4-independently is controversial. We report that TOMM40 is prone to...
