Circulating Cell-Free Genomic DNA Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Dementia and with Change in Cognitive and Physical Function
23 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Altered cell homeostasis, seen in cognitive decline and frailty, leads to cell death and turnover, releasing circulating cell-free DNA (ccf-DNA). OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to determine if serum genomic cell-free DNA (ccf-gDNA) is associated with physical and cognitive decline in older adults. METHODS: We used serum from 631 community-dwelling individuals from the Religious Orders Study or...
