Alzheimer disease and Down syndrome: factors in pathogenesis

Lott, Ira T., Head, Elizabeth·2005·Neurobiology of Aging

Abstract

There is evidence to suggest that certain shared features exist in the pathogenesis of vascular disease and Alzheimer disease (AD) in the general population. In Down syndrome (DS) all adults over the age of 40 years develop sufficient neuropathology for a diagnosis of AD. However, vascular disease is not as common in DS as it is in the general population, particularly with respect to the development of atheromas. We discuss biological mechanisms and risk factors that may be common to both diseases including cholesterol metabolism, inflammation, plasminogen activator inhibitor and apolipoprotein E (Apo E). The study of individuals with DS may help to identify common pathogenic links as well as a disassociation between vascular disease and AD.

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.
