Genetically diverse mouse models of Alzheimer’s Disease reveal an association between amyloid deposition and glycan metabolism in the brain

Varying degrees of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) co‐occur with parenchymal amyloid deposition in majority of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) cases. However, common mouse models of familial AD generated on a single inbred strain do not recapitulate the spectrum of parenchymal and vascular amyloid pathogenesis in the brain. To better represent phenotypic diversity in AD, we generated a panel of genetically diverse Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse strains harboring APOE4 allele and amyloidogenic mutations.
