Résumé

Down syndrome (DS) is the leading genetic cause of intellectual disability and Alzheimer's disease (AD), with over 90% of individuals developing AD-related dementia (DSAD). The triplication of the APP gene on chromosome 21 drives early amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation, but other Hsa21 genes also contribute to pathology. Current DSAD models are limited by species-specific Aβ differences.
