Within the past five years, late onset Alzheimer’s disease and Type 2 Diabetes have been independently linked with the gene for a protein called SorCS1. This project’s objective is to build on this early data to first better understand the link between AD and T2D, and second to point to new potential drug targets for treating both AD and T2D.
