The abstract establishes that PICALM SNPs are associated with Alzheimer's disease and that PICALM regulates APP internalization, but the mechanistic connection between genetic variants and functional changes remains unexplained. Understanding this link is critical for translating GWAS findings into therapeutic targets.
