Variant of TREM2 Associated with the Risk of Alzheimers Disease
NEJM 368:107-116, Jonsson, T.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our findings strongly implicate variant TREM2 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer?s disease. Given the reported antiinflammatory role of TREM2 in the brain, the R47H substitution may lead to an increased predisposition to Alzheimer?s disease through impaired containment of inflammatory processes.
