was associated with AD (p1⁄49E-4). We then examined overlapping SNPs in adults with DS, and found rs2378991 to be associated with AD as well as age at onset (p1⁄40.04). Lastly, hippocampal neuron survival assay showed that knocking down CUGBP2 protects neurons from Ab toxicity. Conclusions: Our multi-stage study showed that genetic factors in CUGBP2 are likely to be involved in AD, and may work through the amyloid pathway.
