Abstract

![CDATA[KIBRA (KIdney/BRAin) is a cytoplasmic protein encoded by the WWC1/KIBRA gene and is primarily expressed in memory-related regions of the brain (hippocampus, cortex). A functional Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) (rs17070145) within KIBRA has been associated with memory performance and Alzheimer’s disease risk. Recent work has demonstrated that KIBRA T allele carriers have significantly better episodic memory scores than non-carriers, and a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease.]]
