Genetic variability in response to Aβ deposition influences Alzheimer's risk
bioRxiv(2018)
摘要
Genetic analysis of late-onset Alzheimer9s disease risk has previously identified a network of largely microglial genes that form a transcriptional network. In transgenic mouse models of amyloid deposition we have previously shown that the expression of many of the mouse orthologs of these genes are co-ordinately up-regulated by amyloid deposition. Here we investigate whether systematic analysis of other members of this mouse amyloid-responsive network predicts other Alzheimer9s risk loci. This statistical comparison of the mouse amyloid-response network with Alzheimer9s disease genome-wide association studies identifies 5 other genetic risk loci for the disease (OAS1, CXCL10, LAPTM5, ITGAM and LILRB4). This work suggests that genetic variability in the microglial response to amyloid deposition is a major determinant for Alzheimer9s risk.
