Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) is the strongest genetic risk factor for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our recent identification of altered APOE DNA methylation in AD postmortem brain (PMB) prompted this follow-up study. Our goals were to (i) validate the AD-differential methylation of APOE in an independent PMB study cohort and (ii) determine the cellular populations (i.e., neuronal vs. non-neuronal) of...
