Genetic variation in genes involved in Abeta-degradation in Alzheimer disease
University dissertation from Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet, Department of Cell and Molecular Biology
Abstract: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes dementia among mainly elderly people and is increasing in prevalence in industrialized societies from 1 to 3 % in 60-65 year-olds to as much as 50 % by age 95. This disease is complex. Multiple genes are involved, and they potentially affect each other. The strongest known genetic risk factor for developing AD is the carriage of the
