Identification of genes that modulate the severity of neurodegenerative diseases
FY 2014-15
Summary
Most forms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease cannot be linked to single gene mutations, i.e., they are polygentic in nature. Here we try to identify genes that when mutated commonly increase the risk to get any neurodegenerative disease.
