Findings

The rs7759295 SNP, located approximately 5 kb upstream of TREM2, was associated with a higher burden of neurofibrillary tangles and a more rapid rate of cognitive decline in subjects from three prospective cohort studies—the Religious Orders Study, the Rush Memory and Aging Project, and the Chicago Health and Aging Project (Replogle et al., 2015). In this study, the variant did not associate with amyloid plaques, amyloid angiopathy, Lewy body pathology, terminally activated microglia, cerebral infarcts, or a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
