There is growing evidence that herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), together with the apolipoprotein E 4 (APOE4) allele, contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), although the mechanism of their interaction remains uncertain. Here we show that the combination of inherited APOE genotype and vertical transmission of HSV-1 confers a differential risk of brain infection. These risk factors are known to be associated with AD.
越来越多的证据表明,1型单纯疱疹病毒(HSV-1)与载脂蛋白E4(APOE4)等位基因共同促成了阿尔茨海默病(AD)的发病机制,尽管它们相互作用的机制仍不明确。在此我们表明,遗传性APOE基因型与HSV-1的垂直传播相结合会带来不同的脑部感染风险。已知这些风险因素与AD相关。
