# TREM2 Activation as an Amplification Node for R136S Protection: Mechanistic Basis and Therapeutic Implications for Neurodegenerative Disease ## The R136S Paradox and Its Mechanistic Implications The R136S variant in TREM2 represents one of the most intriguing protective alleles identified in neurodegenerative disease genetics. Carriers of this variant, particularly homozygotes, demonstrate significantly reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies, yet the mechanistic basis for
**Background and Rationale** Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) represents one of the most significant genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, with rare loss-of-function variants conferring up to threefold increased risk of dementia. This single-pass transmembrane receptor, exclusively expressed on microglia within the brain, has emerged as a critical regulator of microglial phenotype and function throughout the lifespan. Under physiological conditions, TR
