Abstract
In a genome-wide study, Ramanan et al. discover an association between the microglial activation gene IL1RAP and higher rates of amyloid plaque accumulation as measured by PET in prodromal Alzheimer’s disease. Activated microglia may be crucial in amyloid clearance, and targeting the interleukin-1/IL1RAP pathway may be a potential therapeutic approach.
