    The role of ABCA7 in Alzheimer’s disease: evidence from genomics, transcriptomics and methylomics

    Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) originally identified ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A, member 7 (ABCA7), as a novel risk gene of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since then, accumulating evidence from in vitro...

    Loss of DPP6 in neurodegenerative dementia: a genetic player in the dysfunction of neuronal excitability

    Emerging evidence suggested a converging mechanism in neurodegenerative brain diseases (NBD) involving early neuronal network dysfunctions and alterations in the homeostasis of neuronal firing as culprits of n...

    An intronic VNTR affects splicing of ABCA7 and increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease

    Mutations leading to premature termination codons in ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 7 (ABCA7) are high penetrant risk factors of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The influence of other genetic variants in ABCA7

    Deleterious ABCA7 mutations and transcript rescue mechanisms in early onset Alzheimer’s disease

    Premature termination codon (PTC) mutations in the ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family A, Member 7 gene (ABCA7) have recently been identified as intermediate-to-high penetrant risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s ...
