Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by both genetic and epigenetic factors. This study was aimed to evaluate the interaction between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promoter methylation status and tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag SNPs) on amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and its conversion to AD. A total of 506 aMCI patients and 728 cognitive normal...
