Alzheimer-specific variants in the 3'UTR of Amyloid precursor protein affect microRNA function

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>APP expression misregulation can cause genetic Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent evidences support the hypothesis that polymorphisms located in microRNA (miRNA) target sites could influence the risk of developing neurodegenerativ...
