We chose the caudate and putamen of Lewy body diseases (LBDs) (Parkinson’s disease, Parkinson’s disease dementia, and Dementia with Lewy body), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and control brains and genotyped for TSPO, TREM2, and bridging integrator 1 (BIN1) genes using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) assays. The gene discussed is TREM2; the disease is Lewy body dementia.
