Interaction Information:

Comment CASP6 is involved in programmed cell death. It is strongly upregulated in the temporal cortex of the APOE4 group, while modestly downregulated in the primary somatosensory cortex of the APOE4 group. This may represent a response in the APOE4 group that confers susceptibility to AD pathology.
