“…Amyloid- β precursor protein ( A β PP ), presenilin 1 ( PSEN1 ), and presenilin 2 ( PSEN2 ) genes have been strongly implicated in early onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD), particularly familial EOAD, which comprise less than 5% of Alzheimer’s cases (
15). In contrast, late onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) has been associated with other genes including apolipoprotein E- ε 4 ( APOE ε 4 ), bridging integrator 1 ( BIN1 ) region, clusterin ( CLU ), phosphatidylinositol clathrin assembly lymphoid-myeloid ( PICALM ), and complement receptor 1 , mostly identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (
).…”
