Furthermore, two of the Rab GTPase genes that we found to be upregulated in the transcriptomics analysis, the early endosome effector Rab5 and the late endosome effector Rab7, have also been found to be consistently upregulated in human cases of AD in selectively vulnerable neuronal populations (Ginsberg et al., 2010a,b, 2011). This evidence concerns the gene RAB5A and Alzheimer disease.
