Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated a series of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Elucidating the function of these SNPs is critical to identify the underlying pathways and, potentially, novel therapeutic agents. SNPs within the gene ATP binding cassette A7 (ABCA7) reached significance in these studies, warranting investigation into their actions. Here, we analyzed ABCA7 expression in a set of human brain samples as a function of AD-associated SNPs and AD status. We report that the rs3764650T allele that decreases AD risk is associated with increased ABCA7 expression. However, ABCA7 expression is increased in AD individuals. We interpret our findings as suggesting a model wherein increased ABCA7 expression reduces AD risk and that the increased ABCA7 observed in AD reflects an inadequate compensatory change.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
