Ramp sequence may explain synonymous variant association with Alzheimer's disease in the Paired Immunoglobulin-like Type 2 Receptor Alpha (PILRA)

Justin B. Miller, J. Anthony Brandon, Lauren M. Harmon, Hady W. Sabra, Chloe C. Lucido, Josue D. Gonzalez Murcia, Kayla A. Nations, Samuel H. Payne, Mark Ebbert, John S. K. Kauwe, Perry G. Ridge

The paper shows that a synonymous variant in PILRA decreases mRNA and protein levels by disrupting a ramp sequence, providing a biological mechanism for its association with Alzheimer's disease.
