RESEARCH MODELS A528T is a common variant of SORL1 that has been shown to associate with a slightly increased risk of AD (~15 percent) in people of European ancestry and to segregate with disease in some families. CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing was used to introduce the A528T
RESEARCH MODELS The PLCG2 gene encodes the enzyme phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLCγ2), a mediator of transmembrane signaling in microglia that acts downstream of TREM2. A rare missense variant in this gene, P522R, has been associated with reduced risks of Alzheimer’s disease
