Linkage analysis of autopsy-confirmed familial Alzheimer disease supports an Alzheimer disease locus in 8q24.

abstract：:N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The NMDA receptor is composed of several subunits, of which the receptor 2b subunit (NR2b) is of particular significance for AD. Abundant in the hippocampus of normal subjects, reductions in NR2b have ...
