With this foundational work in PHH in mind, the primary objective of the current study was to characterize the CSF levels of APP and related isoforms/cleaved products, L1CAM, NCAM-1, tau, phosphorylated tau (pTau), and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) in non-hemorrhagic, congenital hydrocephalus (CHC) in order to investigate the possibility of a larger relationship between these CSF proteins and hydrocephalus. The gene discussed is AQP4; the disease is cryohydrocytosis.
