Epigenetic studies in Alzheimer's disease: current findings, caveats, and considerations for future studies.

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a sporadic, chronic neurodegenerative disease, usually occurring late in life. The last decade has witnessed tremendous advances in our understanding about the genetic basis of AD, but a large amount of the variance in disease risk remains to be explained.
