Family-based association analyses of imputed genotypes reveal genome-wide significant association of Alzheimer's disease with OSBPL6, PTPRG, and PDCL3.
Since TGase-mediated protein aggregation is implicated in polyglutamine ((CAG)(n)/Q(n) expansion) disorder apoptosis, and expanded Q(n) repeats are excellent TGase substrates, a role for TGase in AD is possible.
Since the coagulation and complement cascades are associated with BBB dysfunction and AD pathology, we investigated the expression changes of coagulation (fibrinogen alpha chain-FGA, coagulation factor XIII A chain-Factor XIIIα) and complement (plasma protease C1 inhibitor-C1-INH, Complement component 3-C3) factors in the brain of novel AD model (APP23) mice with CCH at 12 months of age.
