Abstract excerpt
Pre-eclampsia and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) share no clinical features. In contrast to these clinical dissimilarities, striking parallels exist between the (epi)genetic features associated with pre-eclampsia and LOAD for the genes located on 10q22. The parallels in identity between the 10q22 genes involved and active in the organs (placenta, brain) primarily affected in the respective diseases led us...
