The effects of Cstb duplication on APP/amyloid-β pathology and cathepsin B activity in a mouse model.
People with Down syndrome (DS), caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 have a greatly increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). This is in part because of triplication of a chromosome 21 gene, APP. This gene encodes amyloid precursor protein, which is cleaved to form amyloid-β that acc...
