Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by neuronal loss and astrocytosis in the cerebral cortex. However, the specific effects that pathological mutations and coding variants associated with AD have on the cellular composition of the brain are often ignored. METHODS: We developed and optimized a cell-type-specific expression reference panel and employed digital deconvolution methods to determine...
