The effects of <i>CSTB</i> duplication on APP/amyloid-β pathology and cathepsin activity in a mouse model
2020-10-30
Abstract excerpt
People with Down syndrome (DS), caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 have a greatly increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This is in part because of triplication of a chromosome 21 gene, APP . This gene encodes amyloid precursor protein, which is cleaved to form amyloid-β that accumulates in the brains of people who have AD. Recent experimental results demonstrate that a gene or genes on chromosome...
