Research Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common, complex neurological disease caused by numerous genetic and environmental factors making the identification of sporadic AD related genes difficult. To overcome these difficulties, we combined a mouse model of Abeta accumulation and transcriptomics, which simplifies the complexity, yet increases the statistical power for such a genetic screen, and identified Klc1 variant E as an Abeta accumulation modifier in vivo. Notably, these results translated to humans where the expression levels of KLC1 variant E in brain were significantly higher in AD than control subjects. To our knowledge, this is the first report linking splicing of Klc1 to disease, and strongly implicates transport defects as a major contributor to Abeta accumulation and AD pathology.
