Genetic mapping of APP and amyloid-β biology modulation by trisomy 21
2022-03-12
Abstract excerpt
Individuals who have Down syndrome frequently develop early onset Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition caused by the build-up of aggregated amyloid-β and tau proteins in the brain. Amyloid-β is produced by APP, a gene located on chromosome 21. People who have Down syndrome have three copies of chromosome 21 and thus also an additional copy of APP ; this genetic change drives the early development o...
