Mutations in TYROBP and TREM2 have been shown to cause polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy. Recently, variants in TREM2 were also associated with frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Given the functional proximity between these 2 genes, we investigated the genetic variation of TYROBP in a Turkish cohort of 103 dementia patients. No mutations or copy number variants predicted to be pathogenic were identified. These results indicate that mutations in TYROBP are not a common cause of dementia in this Turkish cohort.

DNAX-activating protein of 12 kDa (DAP12) is a transmembrane adapter protein expressed in lymphoid and myeloid lineage cells. It interacts with several immunoreceptors forming functional complexes that trigger intracellular signaling pathways. One of the DAP12 associated receptors is the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2).

Introduction: Microglia exert a crucial role in homeostasis of white matter integrity, and several studies highlight the role of microglial dysfunctions in neurodegeneration. Primary microgliopathy is a disorder where the pathogenic abnormality of the microglia causes white matter disorder and leads to a neuropsychiatric disease. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (), TYRO protein tyrosine kinase binding protein () and colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor () are genes implicated in primary microgliopathy.

Article Synopsis
- Neuronal dysfunction is a key aspect of neurodegenerative tauopathies, but immune cells like microglia also play a significant role in the disease's progression.
- This study shows that tau mRNA and protein are present in microglia and that a specific tau mutation (IVS10+16) can change how these immune cells behave, causing issues like cytoskeletal problems and stalled phagocytosis.
- Secretions from microglia with this mutation negatively affect neuron health, leading to decreased synaptic density, and similar characteristics were observed in human brain samples from mutation carriers, suggesting important implications for future therapies.

Background: Hematopoietic cell signal transducer (HCST) and tyrosine kinase-binding protein (TYROBP) are triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), which are pivotal in the immune response to disease. Despite growing evidence underscoring the significance of TREM2, HCST, and TYROBP in certain forms of tumorigenesis, a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of these proteins is lacking.
Methods: Multiple databases were synthesized to investigate the relationship between TREM2, HCST, TYROBP, and various cancer types.

Single-Cell RNA sequencing reveals changes in cell population in Alzheimer's disease (AD) model 5xFAD (5x Familial AD mutation) versus wild type (WT) mice. The returned sequencing data was processed through the 10x Genomics platform to perform alignment and form corresponding matrix to perform bioinformatic analysis. Alterations in glial cells occurred in 5xFAD versus WT, especially increases in microglia proliferation were profound in 5xFAD.
