PICALM
Introduction
Phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein, also known as PICALM, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PICALM gene.[1]
Clinical significance
Clinical significance
In humans, certain alleles of this gene have been statistically associated with an increased risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.[3]
