TREM2 and neurodegenerative disease.
To the Editor: Guerreiro et al.1 and Jonsson et al.2 (Jan. 10 issue) report an association between the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs75932628 in the gene encoding the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) (predicting an R47H substitution) and Alzheimer’s disease in persons of European ancestry. We and other members of the Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium assem...

متن کاملThiol redox homeostasis in neurodegenerative disease
This review provides an overview of the biochemistry of thiol redox couples and the significance of thiol redox homeostasis in neurodegenerative disease. The discussion is centred on cysteine/cystine redox balance, the significance of the xc(-) cystine-glutamate exchanger and the association between protein thiol redox balance and neurodegeneration, with particular reference to Alzheimer's dise...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative disease mutations in TREM2 reveal a functional surface and distinct loss-of-function mechanisms
Genetic variations in the myeloid immune receptor TREM2 are linked to several neurodegenerative diseases. To determine how TREM2 variants contribute to these diseases, we performed structural and functional studies of wild-type and variant proteins. Our 3.1 Å TREM2 crystal structure revealed that mutations found in Nasu-Hakola disease are buried whereas Alzheimer's disease risk variants are fou...
متن کاملZinc homeostasis and neurodegenerative disorders
Zinc is an essential trace element, whose importance to the function of the central nervous system (CNS) is increasingly being appreciated. Alterations in zinc dyshomeostasis has been suggested as a key factor in the development of several neuropsychiatric disorders. In the CNS, zinc occurs in two forms: the first being tightly bound to proteins and, secondly, the free, cytoplasmic, or extracel...
