Abstract

Down syndrome (DS) is associated with immune dysregulation and a high risk of early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Complement is a key part of innate immunity and driver of pathological inflammation, including neuroinflammation in AD. Complement dysregulation has been reported in DS; however, the pattern of dysregulation and its relationship to AD risk is unclear.
