Generation of App knock-in mice reveals deletion mutations protective against Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology

To date, only one mutation in the gene for amyloid-beta precursor protein APP has been suggested to be protective against Alzheimer’s disease. Here, authors found using gene editing of a mutant App knock-in mouse line that deletion of the 3’UTR region is protective against amyloid-β accumulation in...

Sumario:To date, only one mutation in the gene for amyloid-beta precursor protein APP has been suggested to be protective against Alzheimer’s disease. Here, authors found using gene editing of a mutant App knock-in mouse line that deletion of the 3’UTR region is protective against amyloid-β accumulation in vivo, and subsequently identify a 52-bp element in the 3’UTR region that is responsible for this effect.
