Genome-wide alteration of 5-hydroxymenthylcytosine in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disorder that leads to a decline in cognitive function. In AD, aggregates of amyloid β peptide precede the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles, both of which are hallmarks of the disease. The great majority (>90 %) of the AD cases are not originated from genetic defects, therefore supporting the central roles of epigenetic...
