Amyloid beta peptide (Abeta), generated by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Amyloid beta peptides and phosphorylated tau protein have been implicated in the selective regional neuronal loss and protein accumulations characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.
An Alzheimer Disease-linked Rare Mutation Potentiates Netrin Receptor Uncoordinated-5C-induced Signaling That Merges with Amyloid β Precursor Protein Signaling.
Apart from multiple sclerosis, which shares several susceptibility loci with other immune-related disorders, variation at HLA-DRB5 being associated both with Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, and the association of the C9orf72 repeat expansion with ALS and frontotemporal degeneration, there was little evidence of gene loci being consistently associated with more than one neurological condition or with other conditions.
