Background Loss of function mutations in the lipid transporter ABCA7 have been linked to increased risk for late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Although rare and common variants in ABCA7 associated with AD alter the coding sequence and are predicted to impair protein function, the precise cell-type consequences of ABC...

Background Heparan sulfate (HS) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are components of the amyloid deposits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other amyloidoses. HS and HSPGs are canonically thought to facilitate amyloid deposition by accelerating the aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins and impairing their clearanc...
