Microprotein has big effect on AD risk

Sep. 23, 2022
By Anette Breindl
Variants in a newly discovered microprotein affected the risk of Alzheimer’s disease more than any other known risk variant besides ApoE. The protein, dubbed SHMOOSE by its discoverers, was identified in a mitochondrial-wide association study (miWAS). The researchers reported their findings in the Sept. 21, 2022, issue of Molecular Psychiatry. The newly identified variant is not rare – it occurs in about a quarter of the Caucasian population, slightly more than the ApoE4 allele. Its effects are also not subtle – in their paper, the team estimated that those with the high-risk variant SHMOOSED47N were roughly 30% more likely to develop AD than those without.

Can alternative approaches improve amyloid-β targeting?

Sep. 20, 2022
By Anette Breindl and Randy Osborne
As therapeutics development in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is broadening its search for therapeutic targets, one of the alternatives to amyloid-β, or at least to its direct targeting by monoclonal antibodies, that is coming into focus is triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2). From a drug development standpoint, amyloid-β remains a mystery. Scientific evidence clearly suggests that amyloid misprocessing is an underlying factor in the development of AD, and it is certainly a reasonable hypothesis that reducing amyloid plaque should fight the disease.
