However, the SLC38A10 protein has been associated with Alzheimer's disease, and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and differences in methylation of the gene have been, respectively, found in patients with frontotemporal dementia and schizophrenia (Ferrari et al., 2015; Montano et al., 2016; Hashimoto et al., 2019), suggesting a possible role of the SLC38A10 protein in cognitive function. The gene discussed is SLC38A10; the disease is frontotemporal dementia.
