Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease: Common pathways, common goals

Abstract: In the United States, estimates indicate there are between 250,000 and 400,000 individuals with Down syndrome (DS), and nearly all will develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology starting in their 30s. With the current lifespan being 55 to 60 years, approximately 70% will develop dementia, and if their life expectancy continues to increase, the number of individuals developing AD will concomitantly increase. Pathogenic and mechanistic links between DS and Alzheimer's prompted the Alzheimer's Association to par… Show more

“…95 Therefore, AD pathogenesis in DS may provide insights into AD pathogenesis in other populations, including sporadic AD. 96,97 Mouse models of DS have demonstrated important parallels with AD in DS. In Ts65Dn mice, agerelated neurodegeneration impacts neurons of the locus coeruleus and cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain medial septum.…”

“…Aunque ese riesgo ha sido reconocido, la conciencia es todavía baja y solo unos pocos modelos de SD+EA han sido explorados y adecuadamente probados. Estudios prospectivos más amplios en la población con SD son necesarios para entender los procesos biológicos que controlan la enfermedad (Hartley et al, 2015).…”

“…El riesgo de padecer EA en las personas con SD se ha convertido en una preocupación importante debido a que su esperanza de vida se ha más que duplicado en las últimas tres décadas (Hartley et al, 2015). Las mejoras en la atención médica a personas con SD han dado lugar no sólo a un incremento en la esperanza de vida sino también en la calidad de vida, si bien los adultos con SD están todavía en desventaja en comparación con aquellos que padecen otro tipo de DI en términos de mortalidad y comorbilidad (Head et al, 2012;Stancliffe et al, 2012).…”
