Open AccessThe 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...

Open AccessAn 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

Open AccessDeleterious 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 ...
