Heterozygosity of lysosomal enzyme genes and Alzheimer's disease

AAIC 2025 Abstract

Abstract

Background: Although lysosome dysfunction has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is unclear what level or type of dysfunction is pathogenic. We hypothesize that haploinsufficiency of lysosomal enzymes is associated with AD and that CNS‐directed, AAV‐mediated gene transfer can be an effective treatment.
